San Francisco Font Apple Inc introduced San Francisco as a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface in November 2014. It was introduced to developers on November 18, 2014. It’s the first and only typeface they have created in the last 20 years, in both the Helvetica and DIN styles.
San Francisco Typeface comes in three main variations for use by Apple products and services: SF for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS; SF Compact for watchOS; and SF Mono for Terminal and Xcode, and other apps. Other variations may also be found in Apple’s internal market.
The main distinction is in the letters’ sides that have round shapes like ‘O’ or ‘E’, while in SF Compact these edges remain flat to enable the characters to be evenly placed and make it easier to read at smaller sizes. This difference can be observed clearly on the Apple Watch devices.
