Once upon a time, Sketch used to come with a bunch of default San Francisco fonts, because you had to be a paying developer to download them from Apple.
This is no longer the case - you can now download the official San Francisco font families (SF Compact and SF Pro) from Apple. As a result, Sketch's iOS UI Design library now tells you to download the official font files from Apple, which makes sense 👍
However, these fonts are different, and there's not really a nice backup of them anywhere. That's not great for compatibility.
Most iOS Sketch files I open are using Sketch's version of the San Francisco fonts. Even when I replace them with the official fonts, the textboxes can become too narrow, and everything just feels a little off.
So, I've created this archive of the font files to make your life a bit easier.
Now you can have SF UI Display
, SF UI Text
, SF Compact Display
, SF Compact Text
, SF Pro Display
, and SF Pro Text
all running alongside each other, meaning ultimate compatibility 🙌
This archive contains all of the SF UI
fonts. You can download the SF Pro
+ SF Compact
fonts directly from Apple's site here: https://developer.apple.com/design/downloads/SF-Font.dmg
Goes without saying, I didn't create any of this. All of this is Apple's IP, all rights go to them, etc. I just put it in one place.
Enjoy! ⚡
