Scratch my previous comment 3. Google search seems to be using Arial now. I stand by my comment that using Arial is a better default font choice because it looked good across all OS font rendering setting combinations, but Roboto does not.

Actually it seems to use Roboto or Arial arbitrarily. Here's a screenshot with Roboto it looks terrible if font smoothing is disabled.

Chrome settings use roboto (screenshot); and G+,calendar,photos,drive.. material design. Now I use extension 'uBlock Origin' to block web font; but more site use font to display icon, select box... |
