Uploading new fonts to Figma design
To use new fonts in Figma, install them on your computer first, as Figma utilizes the fonts installed on your system. Here’s a quick guide:
- Download the font file, usually in .ttf or .otf format. Double-click the font file in a folder on your computer and select Install Font (Mac) or right-click and choose Install (Windows).
- If Figma was open during installation, restart it to refresh the font list, either by reopening the desktop app or refreshing the browser tab for Figma web.
- The new font will now be available in Figma's font dropdown when editing text.
For teams, everyone needs to install the font to ensure consistency. If encountering font conflicts, ensure all team members use the same font version by reinstalling from a shared source and refreshing Figma. This process keeps designs uniform across all devices and team members.
