Adding new fonts to Adobe Illustrator can elevate your design work by giving you more typographic options. Here’s how to do it:

1. Download and Install Fonts

Start by downloading the font file you want to use from a trusted source. Fonts usually come in .ttf (TrueType) or .otf (OpenType) formats. Once downloaded, double-click the file and click "Install" to add the font to your system.

2. Restart Illustrator

After installing the font, restart Adobe Illustrator. This ensures that the program recognizes the newly installed fonts.

3. Access the Font in Illustrator

Open your Illustrator project and use the "Text Tool" (T) to create or select text. Go to the font dropdown menu in the top control panel, and you should see your newly installed font listed. Select it to apply the font to your text.

4. Manage Your Fonts

If you’re using multiple fonts and want to organize them, use Adobe Creative Cloud’s "Font Manager" to activate or deactivate fonts as needed.
