System fonts: Free, look pretty darn good as they match the OS, and no download time required! They are used by GitHub, Bootstrap, Medium, Ghost, (read their system font story), and even your WordPress dashboard.


This means there are no fonts to download increasing speed of the website. If I use Google Chrome on Android to view the website it would display text using the native font (Roboto) of Google Chrome on Android. I maybe wrong but System Fonts (SYSTEM FONT STACK) tells the website to revert back to the Operating System fonts the device is using that accesses the website.įor example if my website used a System Font Stack and I use an iPhone to view a website with System Fonts then the iPhone displays text on my website in its native font (-apple-system (San Francisco)).
