Adobe Fonts—formerly Typekit—has a vast selection of included fonts in Adobe XD to make branding easier. But from time to time, you may need to find external fonts for your brand identity that works with your style guidelines and create a great first impression for customers. Finding the right font is an integral part of any design project, as it can affect both user experience (UX) and user interface (UI)—so it’s important to choose carefully!

Step 1:
To launch the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application on Windows or macOS devices, select the Creative Cloud icon. On Windows computers, this can be found in the taskbar; on Macs, it will be located on the menu bar.
Step 2:
To access Adobe XD’s font library, select the Font icon located in the upper right corner. Click the “Browse Fonts” button at the bottom of this window and you’ll be taken to fonts.adobe.com. Note that if you’re using an earlier version of Adobe XD, your screen may look slightly different from what is depicted here.
Step 3:
The font browser window allows users to easily find the font they need. To access the options for filtering your preferences, look for the left sidebar of the window. This will enable you to quickly and conveniently locate the exact font you’re looking for.
Step 4:
When you’ve identified the font that will work best for your project, you can click the View Family button underneath to view the available options. You’ll find many varieties of the same font family; for instance, some fonts offer narrow and condensed versions in addition to bolder versions. Make sure to check out each option before selecting a font.
Step 5:
To choose the font you wish to use, click on the Activate Fonts icon. This will give you a drop-down menu to alter font families, styles, and weights. Toggle the options to activate chosen fonts. Adobe fonts can streamline collaboration by automatically activating across all devices and platforms, including Android and iOS. This allows users to quickly access what they need for the project without having to download different font files, XD files, or formats. This feature helps streamline workflows and maximize efficiency.
Step 6:
To use your chosen fonts, you must toggle the corresponding buttons to enable the specified font. Open up the Creative Cloud app on your desktop and view the list of Active Fonts; you’ll be able to find all activated fonts that you’ve recently selected.
