Typekit was officially renamed to Adobe Fonts in October of 2018. With the name change came numerous improvements to the service-no more desktop sync limits, no more web-only fonts and no more pageview limits. The quality of the Adobe Fonts collection has improved dramatically over the last several years, so I wanted to highlight some of the best fonts available on the service. Adobe Fonts isn’t available as a standalone product like Typekit was, so you will need a subscription to Creative Cloud to use the service. Creative Cloud gives designers access to software like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, InDesign, etc. Adobe Fonts is included for free with all plans. Sign up here to get complete access to the Adobe Fonts library.
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. All of the links to Adobe on this page are referral links. If you sign up for a Creative Cloud plan to access Adobe Fonts, I will receive a small commission. If you find Typewolf useful, then please use these links as a way to show your support and help keep the site running.
Freight Display is available in six weights with matching italics. What happened to Typekit? Typekit was initially launched as an independent webfont service in 2009 and later purchased by Adobe in 2011. With the name change came numerous enhancements to the service. All previous standalone Typekit plans were retired. As a longtime Typekit customer, I found the name change a little weird at first. But I imagine most new users of the service are coming from other Adobe products, so from that perspective, the Adobe Fonts branding makes more sense.
Yes. Previously, there were “web-only” fonts available on Typekit that did not allow use inside desktop applications. Not anymore. Previously, Typekit limited the number of desktop fonts users were able to have synced at one time (although it was possible to go over that limit without any repercussions). Not anymore. Previously, Typekit had different plans that each allowed a maximum number of monthly pageviews. Yes.
How should I pair the fonts in this list? There are many superfamilies available on Adobe Fonts that make pairing easy. You can also check out my Type Pairing Lookbooks for hand-selected palettes of typeface pairings. Google Fonts is Google’s free webfont hosting service. Everything available on Google Fonts is 100% free and open-source. The quality and selection on Adobe Fonts is much better, which you would expect from a paid service. Many fonts available on Google Fonts contain a limited number of styles and lack the features you would need in a professional font. For projects without a very big budget, Google Fonts is a fine option. However, if you have the budget you will generally get better results using Adobe Fonts.
Unfortunately not. After Adobe renamed Typekit to Adobe Fonts, all standalone Typekit plans were retired. Yes. The Creative Cloud Photography Plan is about $10/month, so it’s an inexpensive option to get access to the entire Adobe Fonts library without having to pay for a more expensive subscription that includes the complete collection of Adobe apps.
