Add fonts to Photoshop via the Internet

Users can add fonts through a tool called (Typekit), which is a cloud font library that includes free or paid options for fonts that users can add and sync with Photoshop, by following these steps:

  • Ensure that the device is connected to the Internet.
  • Open Photoshop, then go to the menu bar at the top of the screen.
  • Click on the “Type” option, then click on the “Add Fonts From Typekit” option, so that the “Typekit” menu opens in the internet browser.
  • Search for the appropriate font, then choose the font you want to use from the My Library list to get free fonts, or you can change the filter on the right of the screen to get more options of fonts that may be paid.
  • Open the font page to view the font, then click on the "Sync all" button to download the entire font family, or you can choose one font from the family by clicking on the green "Sync" button next to the name of the font you want to download.
  • Make sure to open the (Creative Cloud) application and log in to the user's account, then wait for the synchronization to finish, after which a pop-up window will appear when the synchronization process is completed if notifications are activated.
  • Check the font status within the (Creative Cloud) application by going to the Assets option, then choosing the Fonts option.
  • Use the downloaded font in Photoshop by clicking on the (Typekit) menu or on the (Tk) icon and selecting it from there.
