Nimbus Sans is a sans-serif typeface created by URW++, and released under the GPL. It features Normal, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic weights, and is one of several freely licensed fonts offered by URW++. Although the characters are not exactly the same, Nimbus Sans is based on Helvetica and has very similar letterforms, and has metrics that are similar to Arial. It is therefore very similar in structure to Univers. It is one of the Ghostscript fonts, and is a standard typeface in OpenOffice.org.
