If you’ve been looking for a new font for your jailbroken device, maybe you should give the new iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 font a try. The San Francisco font can be installed on your iPhone/iPad or even your Mac right now.
Apple created the San Francisco font for the Apple Watch. Alan Dye, Senior Vice President of Human Interface at Apple explained the new typeface while speaking to Wired.
The letters are more square, Dye says, “but with gentle, curved corners,” mimicking the Watch’s case. It’s wide and legible at small sizes, but when it gets larger the letters tighten up a little more. “We just find it beautiful.”
Here we’ll be taking a look how to do it on your iPhone/iPad. If you want it on your Mac, check out our post here. (Note: All screenshots below are in the “San Francisco” font)
