Web fonts from Adobe Fonts can be used on your websites, HTML email campaigns, articles in Google’s AMP format, and many other projects where web fonts are supported.

The Adobe Fonts web service requires that web fonts be used through the embed code they provide. The Terms of Use don't allow you to self-host the web font files or upload them to a website design platform.

Choose fonts to use

Start by browsing the library of fonts. You can choose the language support you require from the LANGUAGES AND WRITING SYSTEMS drop-down menu.

Select languages and writing systems menu to see the menu for language filter for fonts

Add tags or filters to refine the list of fonts. Use our natural language tags to browse fonts that fit the mood of your project, or you can filter by classification (such as serif or sans serif), properties (x-height, width, or weight), or language.

Create a web project

When you find a font you like, click the </> button to add the family to a web project.

You can also click on the font name to open the family page and see all of the font weights and styles that are available to use. Then click </> Add to Web Project at the top of the page to add the family to a web project.

In the Add fonts to a Web Project window, you'll name your web project and decide which fonts should be included.

  1. Click on the menu and choose “Create a new project”
  2. Name your web project
  3. Use the checkboxes to select the font weights and styles you want to include.
  4. Create the project.

You'll be able to make changes to the project settings from the Manage Fonts page later, too.

Next, you’ll be given the embed code to load the fonts into your website. The different options are explained in the embed code help page, and the default embed code works well for most projects.

Copy the embed code and add it to the <head> tag in your website.

Click Done to close the web project window and continue browsing.  To add more fonts to your project, click the </> button on another font family, then choose your project name from the menu (instead of “Create a new project”).

Customize your web project

Your web project and all the fonts you’ve added to it will be listed under Manage Fonts.

Click the Edit Project button to change which font weights and styles are included, remove a web font family from the project entirely, or designate a font-display setting. You can also change the character set in the web project editor, which specifies the project’s language support.  

East Asian fonts must be served with dynamic subsetting, while other fonts have language-based subsetting options: Default, All Characters, or a custom language subset. The Language Support & Subsetting help page has more information on the different options.

You can include any OpenType features in the project by checking the “OpenType Features” box. Checking this box also shows a list of the features available for that particular web font family, such as ligatures, alternate characters, or small capitals.

Font Display allows you to specify how web fonts are loaded in the web browser and applied to your website. More information about these options is available in our font-display settings help page.

When you have the project configured the way you want it, click “Save Changes” to save the project. The updates will be available to use on your website within a few minutes.

Apply the fonts in your CSS

The Web Project page lists the CSS font-family name, numerical weight, and font style for each font in the project. Use these font-family names in your CSS to apply the fonts to the text.
