How do I choose the right font for an app?

Pick fonts that are clear, flexible, and fit your brand.

  • Go for legibility: Sans-serif fonts like Inter, Roboto, or SF Pro work well on screens.

  • Test across sizes: Your font should scale well on all devices.

  • Match your tone: Serious apps = clean fonts. Playful apps = expressive fonts.

  • Check licensing: Make sure it’s free or licensed for app use.
