Illustrator

Select a font family and style

  1. Select the characters or type objects you want to change. If you don’t select any text, the font applies to new text you create.
  2. Select a font family and style using the Control panel, Type menu, or Character panel:

    • In the Control panel, set the Font and Font Style options.

    • In the Type menu, select a name from the Font or Recent Fonts submenu. Using the Font menu is convenient because it displays a preview of the available fonts.

    • In the Character panel, set the Font Family and Font Style options. In addition to choosing a name from the pop‑up menus, you can click the current name and type in the first few characters of the name you want.

      To change the number of fonts in the Recent Fonts submenu, choose Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > Type (Mac OS), and set the Number Of Recent Fonts option.
