If we decide to add more styles, then we can simply select or deselect the associated checkboxes. Beyond font styles, we can control advanced settings for how the fonts should be presented. If we know who will be viewing our website, we can maximize performance by including only subsets of characters. For example, if our site is only viewed in the United States, it may make sense to deselect the Cyrillic character sets. This reduces font load times as we will only be using a portion of the font family.
What if we need multiple font families in our project? Adobe Font Projects can handle any combination of font families and styles.
In this example, we have three different families: display serif, text serif, and a sans serif font family. To add another family to our project, we simply need to repeat steps one through four. Now Adobe Fonts are included in all subscription plans of all products, even in the cheapest which is InCopy. And there is still a basic library that comes with a free Creative Cloud account without any subscription.
The basic library is a small, limited selection of fonts, formerly Typekit Free. So there are ways, but it still feels a little fishy and even unprofessional to recommend a client using their web fonts this way. Adobe clearly targets designers now — and yes, they made it much easier for us using their fonts as creatives — but harder to recommend hence use the web service for client work. When I wrote to the Typekit Support asking what will happen with the existing Typekit plans of my clients they replied:.
All standalone Typekit plans have been retired, and everyone will need a Creative Cloud subscription that includes Adobe Fonts in order to keep using fonts on a website or in your desktop software in the future.
This means they might go for the lowest-cost option, the InCopy CC plan. But there might be another way. For me personally, this motivates me to license web fonts directly through the foundries or use alternatives. I would prefer hosting web fonts myself on my server and not through a CDN like Typekit. And a lot of foundries provide you with a different licensing model. You license your font for a specific domain or a certain amount of pageviews and only pay once.
This makes them more attractive to small clients, the entry barrier is lower. But still, for small projects, Typekit was the better choice, especially when it comes to foundries like Dalton Maag. After all, I could still use the fonts via Adobe Fonts on my system to do the design and then I recommend my client to license them directly. But this just made it much more work to research prices before choosing a typeface.
Before the shift it was so easy — I knew every typeface on Typekit I can use for client work. Typekit was the place for web fonts — it made them accessible and affordable for many designers and customers. With Adobe Fonts it transformed into being a great tool for mostly designers but not necessarily a web font service anymore. And this makes me sad. Your Web browser springs open to the Typekit website, which offers several ways to find fonts. If this is your first time visiting the site, you may see a welcome screen instead.
To see the font in use, click anywhere atop the thumbnail and a page opens showing the font used in a variety of weights and styles in sentence form. The Specimens tab on the same page displays the font in sentence and paragraph form at various point sizes. The Type Tester tab shown here lets you enter your own text; you can change styles and point size, too.
When you find a font or 20! To view your Favor ites later on, click My Favorites at the upper left. Sync lets you pick which weights and styles Regular, Italic, Bold, and so on to install on your computer.
Turn on the checkboxes for the options you want and then click Sync Selected Fonts. The next screen reminds you that, in order to download the fonts, you need to have the Creative Cloud app running and font syncing turned on shown here at left. To access the Preferences, click on the gear icon at the top right.
As you can see, you can also add fonts from Typekit using the Creative Cloud app. Create a web project. Create the project. Customize your web project. Apply the fonts in your CSS. More like this Why are my web fonts from use.
