Want to use a custom typeface in your sketches or share one you love with other artists? Font Hub makes it straightforward. Here is the full workflow from download to community share.
1. Find and download a font
Browse a font site such as DaFont, Fontshare, Google Fonts, or anywhere else that offers .ttf, .otf, .woff, or .woff2 files.
Download the font to your computer. Unzip the file if it comes in a folder or archive.
2. Open Font Hub in Sketchbug
Sign in at sketchbug.art, open your Library, and click Font Hub in the library header.
3. Go to the Upload tab
In Font Hub, open the Upload tab. This is where you add new fonts to your personal library.
4. Upload your font file
Drag and drop your font file onto the upload area, or click to choose it from your device. Sketchbug accepts .ttf, .otf, .woff, and .woff2 files up to 8 MB.
5. Name it, pick a style, and add a description (optional)
Before uploading, you can:
- Change the name — useful if the file name is something like `CoolFont-Bold.ttf` and you want something clearer
- Choose a style — required. Pick Serif, Sans serif, or Decorative so other artists can browse fonts by type
- Add a description — a short note about the style, where you found it, or what you use it for
The preview shows the font in its own typeface so you can confirm it looks right.
6. Upload
Click Upload font. The font is saved to your account under Your fonts, with the style you chose.
7. Share it with the community
Switch to the Your fonts tab, find the font you just uploaded, and click Share. Once shared, it appears in the Community tab for everyone to browse, like, and save. The style you picked on upload is shown on the card and used when people filter the library.
8. Browse and filter community fonts
Open the Community tab to see fonts shared by other artists. Use the style filter All, Sans serif, Serif, or Decorative to narrow the list, and sort by Newest, Likes, or Downloads. Each font card shows its style so you know what you are getting before you save it.
Click Add on any community font to copy it into your library under Saved from community. You can filter Your fonts the same way when your library grows.
Using your font while you sketch
Open the sketch editor, add a text layer, and pick your font from the dropdown on the text controls. Any font in your library uploaded by you or saved from the community is available there.
That is the whole flow: find a font online, upload it to Font Hub with a style, optionally share it, browse what others have shared, and use it on your next sketch.
