Figtree
Erik Kennedy teaches interface design for a living, and Figtree reads like a face drawn by someone who knew exactly which problem it had to solve: it stays crisp in a 14px label and turns distinctly friendlier as the weight goes up. Uppercase settings keep their punch at small sizes, which is why it works on buttons where a softer geometric sans would go limp. The italic arrived in November 2022, several months after the roman, and finishes the family.

}Questions
- Is Figtree free for commercial use?
- Yes. Figtree is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Figtree in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Figtree belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Erik Kennedy. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Figtree?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 2 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up. Figtree is a variable font: those files carry all 7 weights at once. Some older software — Word, Canva, and Photoshop before 2018 — reads only the one weight the file defaults to, and for Figtree that is Light (300), not the regular. If that happens, use the Static download on this page instead: it has 14 ordinary files, one per weight, and works everywhere.
- Does Figtree support Turkish?
- Yes. Figtree includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- What languages does Figtree support?
- Figtree covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 459 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
- What weights does Figtree come in?
- Figtree comes in 7 weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), Semi Bold (600), Bold (700), Extra Bold (800) and Black (900). It is a variable font, so every one of them is in a single file and you can also set any weight in between.
- Is there a smaller, Latin-only version of Figtree?
- Yes — the "WOFF2 · Latin only" button on this page. It is 24 KB against 28 KB for the complete file, 15% smaller, with every weight the family has still in it. It covers Latin and Latin Extended, which is everything a page in English, Turkish or a western European language sets — Türkçe included, since ı, İ, ğ and ş all live in that range. Take the complete file instead if you set Cyrillic, Greek or any alphabet outside Latin.
- Where can I download Figtree as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is figtree.woff2, and it is about 28 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
