  2. Enter the name of the desired font in the search bar, and select Add Family to add the font family to your Creative Cloud desktop app.

    The Adobe fonts page shows the various available fonts with options to search for your fonts, use the filters, and add or remove fonts.
    You can use the left sidebar and the search bar to browse fonts.

  3. To remove an added font family, select Added in the left sidebar and then select Remove.

    The Added fonts tab shows the options to browse more fonts and the added fonts.
    You can also remove all added fonts from the Creative Cloud desktop app.

    Note:

    To delete an individual font within a font family, select the font family to view the individual font within the family. Then, select Remove for the individual fonts that you want to remove. 

    You can access the added fonts in the Add fonts panel inside Creative Cloud desktop app and in the font list in your desktop apps. Some desktop applications, like Microsoft Word, may require a restart after a new font has been added.

How to remove all Adobe Fonts

Maintain a concise list of added fonts to improve performance. You can access removed fonts in the fonts section of the Creative Cloud desktop app under the  Removed tab, allowing you to conveniently add them back whenever needed.

  1. Select the More Options menu  in the upper-right, and then choose one of the Remove all options.

    The Added fonts tab shows the added fonts with options to browse more fonts, remove added fonts, and the More options icons for removing fonts.

Unable to Add or Remove Adobe Fonts in macOS Ventura?

You might face issues adding or removing your Adobe Fonts if you've turned off the Adobe Creative Cloud login item in your Mac's System Settings. Turning this option off also closes the background processes required for Adobe Fonts services to function. Learn how to enable the Adobe Creative Cloud login item. Once you've turned it back on, you'll be able to use your Adobe Fonts again.

Use Adobe Fonts while offline

If you launch the Creative Cloud desktop app while offline, fonts won't display in the font lists of your apps. However, if you go offline while the Creative Cloud desktop app is running, added fonts will still be listed and available to use. 

Use fonts in older versions of Creative Cloud and third-party apps

Adobe fonts that have not been used in over 150* days need to be reinstalled for use in older Creative Cloud and third-party apps. Creative Cloud keeps apps running smoothly by periodically cleaning up these fonts. (*Number of days is subject to change.)

You can quickly reinstall fonts on the Adobe Fonts website by selecting the cloud icon  next to the font name in your Added Fonts list. Once the fonts are reinstalled, they will show up as usual in all your font menus. 

We recommend keeping Creative Cloud software up to date for the best font experience. Learn more about reinstalling fonts that are no longer in use.

How to turn off the Adobe Fonts service

Disabling Adobe Fonts removes any added fonts and prevents you from adding other fonts from the service.

  1. Go to the Account icon in the upper-right and select Preferences.

    The Account menu showing options such as Preferences, Sign out, and monthly generative credits for Gen AI features.
    Selecting Preferences opens a new window.

    Note:

    Does your screen look different? See instructions for the earlier version of the Creative Cloud desktop app.

  2. Select Services on the sidebar. Then disable the Adobe Fonts option.

    You can enable or disable Adobe Fonts at any time.

  3. Select Done to apply your changes.
