What Fonts Can I Use? Plus Font Pairing In Figma
Hi. Yeah. In this video, we're going to look at what fonts am I allowed to use in fig A which ones are really common to use? And then we're going to look at a bit of font pairing kind of sticking free examples together that look really nice. Here you go. There's a good pairing there just to help you out if you are unsure about what fonts to pick and which ones match. All right, let's jump in. So what fonts can I use? You can use kind of anything these days and you want to make sure that there is whatever font you use, there's a web version of it. Most commonly people will just use Google, fonts, Google fonts or fonts.google.com just is full of free fonts that we can use commercially and they're available to be used online and inside of apps. Ok. So this is a great place to kind of get fonts. Why can't you just use all the fonts on your machine? It's mainly because you need to make sure that they are available. That's a different kind of font that ends up inside of apps and websites. Ok...
. So let's say there's a font that I bought the other day. So let's type in Scott. Use capitals. Scott headphones. Ok. It's this one here. Geograph. I bought it. It's great. I love it. And when I was buying it though, it was here, I was like, great. I love this font. I was using it for t-shirt design for one of my last courses. Ok. And I went, all right. I'm gonna buy this one because it's a paid font. Ok. Don't be afraid to pay for fonts. Ok. This one here and I decided that I wanted to use it for desktop version. And I just bought, instead of the whole thing for 300 I just bought the sizes that I want only for desktop. Ok. But if I needed to use this for an app, OK? Or for a website, I need to pay for a different license. Ok. So you can, it will depend on kind of how many page views. So I know that you can actually put a lot of fonts online, but that is a bit of a hurdle. A lot of people avoid by using something like Google fonts because we don't have to pay for these Google have really kind of, I don't know, beautified the web with their fonts. Ok. So you can go through and pick fonts from here and download them, say that like I've already had a little look through uh how I got my fonts, you know, um there was one called Crimson Text that I liked. I wanted a serif font along with a matching uh San serif font. So I like this one. I was like, great. It's cool. You can type in here so you can put in uh my marketing message, marketing message. So you can kind of check what it looks like and then you can either download parts of them or download the whole family. And what's nice about this is download them, you put them somewhere, open them up and install them. You just double click on them, they install it pretty easy. What's really nice about that though? Is that your developer or who was making your website will be able to have access to the same fonts. They'll install them slightly different, they'll probably use a content, something network, something called a CD N and they, they have different ways of making it happen, but it's the same font, which is nice. So very common to use Google fonts. There's a lot of alternatives for Google fonts. Ok. Uh If you've got an Adobe license, there's uh Adobe fonts, you can use those kind of free as part of your license. You can go to other sites where you buy them. Like this is just an independent foundry that I bought stuff from beautiful stuff here. Ok. But this one's called Klim. Ok. But you can also go to fonts.com or Vado have uh we looked at Indo elements earlier. They have lots of cool fonts in there. Creative Market. There's, there's a million places you can buy fonts, but just know that you might have to buy a specific license and there are just some fonts that nobody's bothered to make web version of it yet. So don't get yourself into trouble. Another little bit of a tip is font pairing. What I find is like, let's say that you do decide that you like this uh semi bold version look 600. There you go. There's that kind of like weird numbering again in the hundreds that we did for color. OK? And let's say you do like the 600 version, you select the style. Actually, let's not do it that way. Let's have a look down the bottom here. What you'll see is often they'll have popular pairings with Crimson text. There you go. So Mozzart is a really common one you're like, yeah, that's a good combo or maybe open sense. OK? These are all other fonts that you can download from Google fonts. Now, this is not like a typography class, but a nice simple kind of quite a common way of working is that if you've picked a font that has a s for your like say hero text or your kind of hitting text. So these little seraphs, these little feats on it, it'd be common to use a San Sera as the body copy and vice versa. Not, it's not the 100% rule. It's just a really common rule. Now, if you are new to the font game or design game, you might find something this term quite useful uh font pairings. So if we're gonna use Google fonts or Adobe fonts or whatever it is, the word font pairings is useful. Ok? And the results here, let's have a look. I'm gonna open up a few of these and you. Ok? Anyway, a bunch of them. OK. And what you'll see is there is fond pairing somebody else before you has gone and decided to pair stuff up this. Here we go. Here's some examples finally. OK. Ail with uh Leto, what do you think? Hm. There you go. Not going on that one. This is pretty cool. The art deco going on. Um Yeah, so lots of examples of Google fonts that you can uh oh, so many pop ups. Anyway. Um let's have a look at some more examples. Monster at Oswald. You don't have to agree. I don't like that pairing and let's have a look. Yeah, but these are all downloadable from Google fonts and you might just see like, oh man, that's it. April fake face. April fat face with Roboto is where I'm going. Ok. And just have a little work through all the different ones. OK? Uh You can go into the fig a community. There is some font pairing files in there as well, but it can just be a little bit of a leg up when you are trying to pick fonts for an app or a website, bit of font pairing. So that's it for what fonts can I use in my fig files. Let's get on to the next video.
