Fonts for Apple Platforms

Apple products like iOS, macOS, and watchOS, all use an original set of system fonts, called San Francisco, officially abbreviated as “SF”, much like Google uses Roboto, Open Sans, and Product Sans, and Microsoft uses Segoe.

For those wanting to design realistic mock-ups of Apple products, there is no better way to start than to learn about, and use, authentic Apple fonts. You’ll get to try some of them out in a section below.
