Font lists are one of the many font grouping tools you have at your disposal when organizing your library in Monotype Fonts. Add fonts to font lists to share them with the people working with you on your creative projects—both teams and individuals alike.

Use folders and subfolders to organize your font lists, web projects, and digital ads neatly within a multi-level, nested hierarchy.

1. To create a font list, begin by clicking on the Create new button in the sidebar.

2. Next, select Font list from the Create new dialog.

3. Enter a Name, and optionally, a Description for your font list.
​

4. Finally, click on the Create button.

Your new font list will appear in the sidebar. Click on it to open it in the main view and start adding fonts to your new font list.

You can add fonts to your font lists from anywhere you encounter the Add to button throughout your font discovery and management journey. Here are a few examples:

When discovering new fonts in the Browse section, hover over a font row and click on the Add to button.

This will bring up the Add to... dialog. Select the font list(s) you’d like to add fonts to.

The Add to button can also be found on all font and family pages. Click on it to add the selected fonts and families to your font lists.

Hover over a font row in your search results to find the Add to button.

You can also add fonts to your font lists when accessing your Favorites within your library. Here again, simply hover over a font row to find the Add to button.

Add fonts you’ve already synced and worked with to your font lists for easy sharing and distribution among your creative teams. Hover over a font row in the Synced fonts view and click on the Add to button.

You can add fonts from one font list to another list by simply clicking on a font list and then hovering over a font row to find the Add to button.

You can ensure visual consistency in your projects by sharing a font list with your team, so everyone has access the correct fonts as they work on their project(s). Once the font list has been shared, your team members will be able to use the Monotype App to sync and activate fonts with a single click.
