The main disadvantage of system fonts is consistency. Finally, they give you access to some quality typefaces that would otherwise cost a lot to license for web use. You can also use system fonts that are similar to your web font to reduce that layout shift or to cover languages that your web font doesn’t cover. Additionally, they don’t cause a layout shift when they load as the web fonts do.
I focus, for now, on typefaces that can be used for setting body text-meaning that they have font files for regular, italic, bold, and bold italic-and not so much on display typefaces.Īn advantage of system fonts over a web font is that they improve the loading performance of a web page because you don’t download extra font files. I wanted to compile a list with the pre-installed typefaces that come with the most popular operating systems, also known as system fonts.
