In the system UI of the mac, The font-style is displayed in a different optical style to the one I can type in, Like when I type the letter "a" it is with a closed tail, and in the system text the "a" is displayed with an unclosed tail such as in this message, Could you please explain including how to acquire such other variations of the San Francisco font-style?
From Wikipedia as source of below excerpt
" Apple restricts the usage of the typeface by others. It is licensed to registered third-party developers only for the design and development of applications for Apple's platforms.[11] Only SF Pro, SF Compact, SF Mono, SF Arabic, and New York variants are available for download on Developer website and they are the only SF variants allowed to be used by developers."
Thank you, although I have already downloaded all three SF Pro variants and have not found the font-style I was looking for, it is like the one used in these messages.
Welcome and Thank you too
I want to know more about San Francisco system UI font-styles
