Typekit was officially renamed to Adobe Fonts in October of 2018. With the name change came numerous improvements to the service—no more desktop sync limits, no more web-only fonts and no more pageview limits. Thousands of additional fonts were added as well, including new offerings from Font Bureau and the Adobe Originals library.
Adobe Fonts partners with the world’s leading type foundries to bring thousands of beautiful fonts to designers every day. No need to worry about licensing, and you can use fonts from Adobe Fonts on the web or in desktop applications. Purchase downloadable Adobe Type fonts for commercial use from best online collection. Try fonts from selection of high quality & professional desktop and web fonts.
The quality of the Adobe Fonts collection has improved dramatically over the last several years, so I wanted to highlight some of the best fonts available on the service. The order of the fonts listed below isn’t really important—these are just some of my favorites and what seem to be popular on Typewolf right now.
Adobe Fonts isn’t available as a standalone product like Typekit was, so you will need a subscription to Creative Cloud to use the service. Creative Cloud gives designers access to software like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, InDesign, etc. Adobe Fonts is included for free with all plans. Sign up here to get complete access to the Adobe Fonts library. See the FAQ below for answers to common questions.

Adobe Fonts (formerly Typekit) is an online service which offers a subscription library of high-quality fonts.[1] The fonts may be used directly on websites or synced via Adobe Creative Cloud to applications on the subscriber's computers.[2]
Characteristics[edit]
Adobe Fonts is an online service which provides subscribers with access, under a single licensing agreement, to its font library.[3]
For web site use the service works with the @font-faceCSS property and JavaScript.[1] Visitors to a web site who have disabled javascript in their browser will therefore not see the fonts.
