Browse and apply fonts

Text is one of the crucial components of interface design. Picking the right font can help determine the legibility and appeal of your design.

When editing text, fonts can be applied to:

• All text within a text layer
• A number of selected text layers
• A string of text within a text layer

When applying fonts, you can search for a font by name or use the filter options to browse font collections:

• Search: Use this field to search the font list by name.
• All fonts: Will show all fonts that are available to you, including local fonts, shared fonts, and those provided by Figma.
• In this file: Fonts used in the current file
• Popular: A list of commonly used fonts, curated by Figma
• Used at [your organization]: Shared fonts uploaded by your organization
• Installed by you: Local fonts you have installed to your computer
• Google fonts: Fonts available via Google fonts in Figma
• Variable fonts: All fonts that have at least one variable font axis
