Using fonts in the past was rather cumbersome. You had to purchase a license for a typeface or family, and then make sure that it was loaded correctly. The purchase of these fonts often limited your opportunity to try new typefaces. Then there was the issue with using typefaces for the web: Even though you have licensed a font, that doesn’t mean the end user has access to it. Frequently this led to unexpected display results in various browsers. This is where Adobe Fonts comes to the rescue. By using Adobe Fonts, you can access an available font when it’s needed, activating a license and adding it to your system so it is ready to use immediately.

Adobe Fonts allows you to easily access new and interesting fonts created by leading type foundries. By using Adobe Fonts you do not have to worry about licensing, and you can use fonts from Adobe Fonts on the web or in desktop applications. Look for new fonts to use in your web or print design by clicking on the Manage Fonts submenu in the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud App. You can sync your fonts with those available in Adobe Fonts or manage your existing font selections.

In the following steps, you have the opportunity to add a font using Adobe Fonts.
