Facebook Font is one of the few fonts that many people like to have in their systems. I hope you all would agree that this font is really very mesmerizing and therefore many people want to download it for their personal and professional writings. And hence today I am going to write about “Facebook Font Download”. But before heading onto the topic I will like to brief you on how this font came to existence.
Facebook Font History:
Facebook font was designed by a Graphic Designer, named Joe Karl. Joe specializes in Art Direction, Design and Typography. If you want any more info about him then you can visit his website: joekral.org
The second important thing about the Facebook font is its colour. Some people say that Facebook logo colour white and blue colour combination was a personal choice of Zukerberg as he is colour blind. Strange huh!
Facebook Font Download:
Actually as I foretold that the actual font that facebook uses is a custom font designed by Joe and hence it is not an official free font. But no need to feel disappointed as here I will be telling you about another font named as “Lucida”. I believe this font was the original inspiration behind the facebook font because both these fonts resemble to a great extent. You can yourself see this in the below image.
