Some of the font names shown here might be slightly different than the name used on Adobe Fonts. For example, the version of Gill Sans on Adobe Fonts is known as Gill Sans Nova.I do my best to keep this collection up-to-date, but the availability of certain fonts may change on the service at any time.

Adobe Fonts (formerly Typekit) is an online service which offers a subscription library of high-quality fonts.[1] The fonts may be used directly on websites or synced via Adobe Creative Cloud to applications on the subscriber's computers.[2]
Characteristics[edit]
Adobe Fonts is an online service which provides subscribers with access, under a single licensing agreement, to its font library.[3]
For web site use the service works with the @font-faceCSS property and JavaScript.[1] Visitors to a web site who have disabled javascript in their browser will therefore not see the fonts.
History[edit]
Adobe Fonts was launched as Typekit in November 2009 by Small Batch, Inc.,[1] a company run by creators of the Google Analytics service.[4] In October 2011, the service was acquired by Adobe.[5] On 15 October 2018, Typekit changed its name to Adobe Fonts.[6]
Alternatives[edit]
Typotheque launched the first commercial webfont service in October 2009.[7]
Extensis introduced WebINK, another early webfont service, in the spring of 2010. In 2011, they added many fonts from Adobe to the service.[8] WebINK announced a shut down in June 2014, and closed in 2015.[9]
Google introduced a competing, free service named Google Fonts (originally Google Web Fonts) in May 2010.[10][11]
Clearleft and OmniTI launched Fontdeck in June 2010. It announced a shut down in late 2015, and closed completely a year later.[12][13]
Font Bureau and Ascender Corporation launched the Webtype service in October 2010.[14]

When you activate fonts from Adobe Fonts, they will appear in the font menus of all your desktop applications, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Office, and iWork. Use these fonts for print design, website mockups, word processing, and more.
Fonts are activated on your computer through Creative Cloud desktop. If you do not have the software installed, download it from https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
Start by browsing the library of fonts. You can toggle between the default & Japanese font collections from the mode selector at the top of the page.
Add filters to refine the list of fonts. You can filter by classification (such as serif or sans serif), properties (x-height, width, weight), or language.
The collection of Japanese fonts has different filtering options, so you can browse for kana-only fonts or by style classifications like Mincho, Gothic, Maru Gothic, and Brush.
When you find a font you like, click to view the family page. Select the font weights and styles you want to use, or use the menu at the top of the list to add full families.
Active fonts are shown in Creative Cloud desktop by clicking the f menu icon in the upper right corner.
If your fonts don’t show up in Creative Cloud desktop within a minute or two, check the troubleshooting guide.

Once the fonts are active, they are added to the font menu in each application, alongside all of your installed fonts. They will be immediately available in most programs, but a few need to be restarted to add new fonts to the menu (for example, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Office).
In addition to being listed in Creative Cloud desktop, your active fonts are listed on the website under the Active Fonts tab on My Adobe Fonts. The Fonts link under Resources in Creative Cloud desktop will also take you to the website. Read more about managing your fonts.
You can activate as many fonts as you'd like, but we recommend removing fonts you no longer use, to keep your font menu short and optimize performance. We keep track of the fonts you’ve used before in your Previously Active tab, and you can always activate them again in the future.
