Quick summary

Adding fonts to Figma requires installing the Figma Font Service app, which automatically syncs all local fonts on your computer to your Figma font library. Once set up, any new fonts you install on your machine become instantly searchable and usable in your Figma designs.

Click the drop-down arrow next to your account name in the top-left corner of Figma.
Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down to the Font section under the Account tab, click Download Installer, and install the Figma Font Service app on your computer.

📌 Why this matters

Using custom fonts in Figma is essential for designers who need brand-consistent typography across their projects. The Figma Font Service bridges the gap between locally installed fonts and the Figma editor, making every font on your computer instantly accessible without manual uploads. This workflow saves time for design teams managing multiple typefaces and ensures that shared files render correctly with the intended fonts. For anyone asking how to add fonts to Figma, this built-in installer is the official, most reliable solution.
