10+ Best Figma Fonts for UI Projects (And How to Add Them)

Typography is one of the most important aspects of UI design. Although most of the time, users never really notice it since designers do a great job of finding the perfect font to offer the best user experience.

But, only the designers know how much work they had to put in or how many iterations of the design they had to create to find that perfect font for a UI project.

Typography is extremely important, not just for apps like Twitter and Facebook, but for every user interface. Because text takes the center stage of every design. Without the right font, your entire UI design will be in jeopardy.

We want to help you find the best font for your designs with this Figma fonts list. These fonts have cleaner and simpler designs to enhance readability and overall offer a more improved user experience.

Why Use Custom Fonts in Figma?

Figma already has a big collection of fonts in its library. So then why should you buy a custom Figma font to use in your UI designs?

Well, there are several downsides to using the “default” fonts in any design you create. The default fonts that come with any app or operating system are the first choice for most amateur designers. Chances are you’ll come across dozens or even hundreds of different designs that use those same fonts.

Imagine using the same font that was used to create a poster for an adult film to design a cover for a children’s book. That’s the kind of risk you’ll have to take when using those free and default fonts.

It’s an extreme example. However, when you’re using a custom premium font, you’ll not only avoid such circumstances but it will also help you find better-looking fonts to give your designs a more professional look and feel.
