How to Access Newly Added Free Fonts in macOS Catalina

Very few things offer me as much pleasure as the sight of beautiful text crafted with nice-looking fonts. Though I’m not a designer, collecting a variety of fonts and using them on social networking sites like Instagram has long been my penchant. That’s the reason why I’m so happy to know that Apple recently introduced brand new macOS fonts which can be used system-wide on Mac. Apart from being in huge numbers, they are available from well-known sources such as Klim Type Foundry and Commercial Type. If you love to use them as well, head over to learn how you can access newly added free fonts in macOS Catalina on your Mac.

How to Access Newly Added Free Fonts on Mac

The recently added fonts are slightly under wraps as they aren’t downloaded by default. However, you can easily track them down and then download them on your Mac. Some of the new fonts that have called for my attention are Produkt (8 styles), Proxima Nova (12 styles), Domaine (6 styles), Founders Grotesk (17 styles), and Graphik (18 styles). They are beautifully-designed and can be used in many design projects. Enough talk? Let’s get going with quick steps!

1. To get started, launch the Font Book app on your Mac. If it’s not in your Dock, just search for it using Spotlight.

5. Up next, a popup will appear on the screen saying something like “The selection includes fonts which must be downloaded in order to be enabled. Do you wish to continue?“ Click on Download to confirm the action.

After you have successfully downloaded the recently added font on your Mac, go ahead and use it as usual.

Well that was all about the new fonts in the macOS operating system. Here are some other things you should learn about using fonts on macOS:

  • If you don’t need any font, you can easily disable it on your Mac. Select any font in the Font Book and choose Edit menu at the top. Now, click on Disable (font name). The disabled font remains installed, however it doesn’t show up in the font menus of your apps.
  • There is also a way to remove any font that you don’t need anymore. Select the font in Font Book and then click on the File menu. Then, click on Remove.
  • macOS supports a variety of font types including Variable TrueType (.ttf), TrueType (.ttf), , TrueType Collection (.ttc), OpenType Collection (.ttc) fonts, and OpenType (.otf).

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky?
