Smart collections are automatically updating collections that you define with search filters. The syntax follows the Font Family Search Syntax.

  • A smart collection can contain multiple active filters
  • Only one value can be active for each filter
  • You cannot manually add a font family to a smart collection

To create a new smart collection, go to Settings -> Collections -> Create New.
