# Changes to our Font Library

As part of a move towards open-source fonts, and in an effort to refine our font offerings, we have deprecated some fonts in our library. We’re also expanding the library of open-source fonts, with [32 new high quality typefaces](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/settings/fonts#available-fonts) available today.

Action Required: For theme developers with published themes in the Shopify theme store using any of the [deprecated fonts](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/settings/fonts#deprecated-fonts), **please replace your default font for each preset by January 3, 2025.** We have provided recommended replacements in the developer documentation that maintain a similar style to the deprecated font, or you can choose any other available font from our library.

Merchants who are currently using deprecated fonts will be prompted to make updates at a later date.

Update August 2025: Most merchants' fonts will be automatically updated to a recommended font of a similar style. See [this post](https://shopify.dev/changelog/font-library-updates-automatic-replacement-for-deprecated-fonts) for further details.
