Where Does Figma Get Their Fonts?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 8:06 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration. Their fonts are sourced from three different places:

1. Fonts that are published on Google Fonts: Figma sources many of their fonts from Google Fonts.

This is a collection of free, open-source fonts that are released under the SIL Open Font License. Anyone can use these fonts for personal or commercial purposes.

2. Fonts from Adobe Typekit: Adobe Typekit is a subscription service that gives you access to a library of high-quality fonts.

Some of these fonts are free to use, while others require a paid subscription. Figma includes a selection of Adobe Typekit fonts in their app, which you can use for your projects.

3. Figma’s own custom-designed fonts: In addition to the fonts sourced from Google and Adobe, Figma also has a few custom-designed fonts that are exclusive to their app.

These include the sans-serif Inter and the monospaced Space Mono. You can use these fonts for any project, without having to worry about licensing.

Conclusion:

Figma’s wide variety of font options ensures that there is a perfect font for every project – whether you’re using one of their pre-loaded Google or Adobe Typekit fonts, or one of their custom designs. And because all of their fonts are released under open source licenses, you can use them for both personal and commercial purposes without having to worry about licensing fees.

PRO TIP: Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – and it’s free to use! However, their fonts may not be free for commercial use. Be sure to check the licensing on any fonts you use from Figma before using them for any commercial projects.
