# Font library updates: automatic replacement for deprecated fonts

As part of our ongoing move towards open source fonts, we're implementing a gradual automatic font replacement. All deprecated fonts used in online store themes, checkout, and the Shopify Forms app will be automatically replaced with fonts of a similar style.

This automatic replacement will happen gradually throughout August 2025. Merchants using deprecated fonts will see their stores updated with replacement fonts that maintain similar visual characteristics to their original selections.

If you're building themes for the Theme Store, you should have already updated your theme presets by the January 3, 2025 deadline. If you haven't yet, review our [deprecated fonts list](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/settings/fonts#deprecated-fonts) and update any affected presets with our recommended replacements or any other available font of your choice.
