Apple's website begins to adopt San Francisco font

The font or typeface used in any document can be a problem or an advantage depending on the use we are going to make of it. Since 2015, Apple has gradually adopted the San Francisco font both in its devices, it began with the Apple Watch, and in its operating systems. After being on practically all the company's products and devices, now it is the turn of the website, which as we can see in the image that heads this article, the change has already begun, going from Myriad to San Francisco, in this way the transition process of the entire Apple ecosystem ends.

At first glance it can be a very subtle change, but this new font allows us to read the texts on the web more easily, especially on devices with smaller screens. thanks to the design of its edges and the extra separation between the characters. This change is currently available on most of Apple's US website.

Myriad was the font that so far Apple was only using on its website, since on devices, the font used was Helvetica Nue, which was used in iOS 7, iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, for later to depart adopt San Francisco from iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, versions that hit the market in 2015.

The new typeface, San Francisco, is the first font that Apple has designed. It is not the first in itself, since in the 80s it also designed its own fonts, but from the 90s it began to use fonts that were already created, adapting to it, as was the case with Helvetia Nue.
