# Applying Apple News Format Fonts

Choose a font family for Apple News Format that’s supported in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

## Discussion

Fonts determine the look of text in your article. Within font families, the properties `fontWeight`, `fontWidth`, and `fontStyle` provide variations on the font for bolder or lighter, condensed or expanded, and regular or italicized text. To specify a font variant in Apple News Format, you can also use an explicit font variant’s PostScript name (listed in parentheses) in a `fontName` property without style modifiers (see [`TextStyle`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/TextStyle)). For information about using fonts in Apple News Format, see <doc://com.apple.applenews/documentation/AppleNews/defining-and-applying-text-styles>.
