Browse and manage fonts for all of your desktop apps.

A great font can make your design. You have access to hundreds of desktop fonts through the Typekit service. This service is included with a subscription to a Creative Cloud complete plan, a single-app plan, or a standalone Typekit plan.

The Typekit service has been hosting web fonts for some time, but desktop fonts from Typekit are new to Creative Cloud. To start using fonts on your desktop, just open the Creative Cloud desktop app and click the Fonts panel. Follow the steps to browse and choose fonts on the Typekit website, and then sync them to your desktop computer. You can use fonts from Typekit in all of your installed applications that support desktop fonts, including your Adobe apps.

Check out the video to see how this works. If you have questions, check out our help area for syncing fonts with Creative Cloud.
