Adobe Fonts has recently changed how font weights are displayed on their site, making it significantly harder for designers to browse and compare options efficiently. The new interface prioritizes style over functionality, replacing a perfectly usable system with something that’s visually “cute” but ultimately disruptive. It’s slowing down my workflow and making font selection much more frustrating than it needs to be.

I actually called Adobe and was directed here to share my feedback. The reality is, most designers don’t have time to track down where to voice these frustrations — which means this issue may be more widespread than it appears. I strongly encourage Adobe to proactively reach out to the design community and gather feedback on this change. I have a feeling I’m not the only one deeply dissatisfied with this new experience.
