What problem does this address?

Adobe/Typekit supports font embedding for their customers - but currently requires custom CSS code to assign the typeface to any elements.

What is your proposed solution?

It would be great to consider other font providers in the library - including Adobe/Typekit.

I hope the integration with Adobe Fonts becomes feasible.

Hello, any updates on this request. Currently there seems to be no way to include Adobe fonts and configure them in the theme.json file.

Adobe fonts only allow via paid Creative Cloud subscription plans, which they provide a CSS to load fonts.

I know one could purchase the font license to get the font files, but this end up being extremely expensive for user to do, because theme.json does not support adding a remote font like that, so there has to be a way to also load remote fonts like Adobe fonts for those that pay for the Creative Cloud subscription.

Thanks

My understanding is that Adobe/Typekit fonts require an individual license, per site, to use.

Given that constraint, I think support for this is best handled in a dedicated plugin, that can save the relevant license info and dynamically generate a font collection that's specific to the site.

Adobe Fonts offers web font licensing as part of their Creative Cloud subscription.

To add Adobe Fonts to their website, users only need to:

  1. Add the following code to their tag: <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.typekit.net/[PROJECT-ID].css”>
  2. Add the CSS code to load the font family, weight, and style.

Step 1 can be accomplished by using a plugin to modify or have a feature that lets users key in their Project ID.

Step 2 would need Font Library to allow a custom font by entering the name of the font family, instead of using the default, a Google Font, or an uploaded font.
