Can I use SF UI Text font in a web application? If it is legal to use the font on a web application then how can I get a license for the font? I could not find the font on the Apple fonts.
Hi! When installing SF Pro from Apple website (https://developer.apple.com/fonts/), you can read this in the license:
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE APPLE SF PRO FONT IS TO BE USED SOLELY FOR CREATING MOCK-UPS OF USER INTERFACES TO BE USED IN SOFTWARE PRODUCTS RUNNING ON APPLE’S iOS, iPadOS, macOS OR tvOS OPERATING SYSTEMS, AS APPLICABLE.
So the answer is: no, you can't use SF Fonts in a web app.
Thank you for your reply. I was specifically checking for SF UI Text font(which is currently not listed in https://developer.apple.com/fonts/ ). As per your last comment all the SF fonts are only allowed to be used in an Apple device. I was wondering if there is any exception since it is no longer listed in the site.
Oh yeah, sorry. I don't really know about SF UI Text. In my opinion, it seems kind of risky to use it.
"You can access system fonts in a standards-compliant way by utilizing the system-ui family. And in Safari 13.1 we introduced new standards-based keywords to access serif, monospace, and rounded forms." https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/127350?answerId=614912022#614912022
The restriction on San Francisco font is that if you download the font, any use would only be allowed for UI mockups. So don’t download the font and add to your app bundle. Use the tags above for web pages or use the System font in UIkit, SwiftUi. Etc.
