To see and install these optional fonts, open the FontBook application and switch to “All Fonts”. Browse the font list and you will see lots of font families that are greyed out—either because they were deactivated or they weren’t downloaded yet. If you right-click on a font or font family that wasn’t downloaded yet, you see an option to download the individual font or entire family. Here are some (Latin) highlights of the available fonts: Font families: Canela from Commercial Type in 16 styles Domaine Display from Klim Type Foundry in 6 styles Founders Grotesk by Klim Type Foundry in 17 styles Graphik by Commercial Type in 18 styles Produkt by Commercial Type in 8 styles Proxima Nova by Mark Simonson Studio in 12 styles Publico by Commercial Type in 12 styles Individual display fonts: Sauber Script by TypeJockeys Quotes Caps and Quotes Script by Sudtipos In addition to those Latin fonts, many non-latin fonts are available as well.

Apparently, San Francisco, in it’s several incarnations, offers various advanced typography features, and supposedly, the OS will automagically handle them in the most appropriate way (yay for tabular figures in clocks, we only waited for decades). Speaking of figures, one such feature is the inclusion of alternative numerals with open counters: The problem is, they seem to be used only on Watch’s faces. I would love to see them used on my Mac or iPhone when the numbers get very small. Better yet, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to set a preference, akin of that for font smoothing, to always use them under a given point size?
