San francisco typeface

[Will0827]

I really like the typeface, haven't seen an apple watch yet in person so its the first time actually seeing it in the beta in both iOS9 and el capitan and although it is subtle it just looks really nice. Probably my favorite feature of both the updates.

Couldn't agree more. It's a very sophisticated font

I hate the font.

I like it a lot. I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but now I can't get enough of it lol

Has it been applied systemwide in iOS 9 beta 1?

It's very obvious on keyboard but elsewhere? Everything feels the same.

Yes, seems to be everywhere. I notice it the most in the Twitter app

Can you post a few screenshots of that please?

It's very interesting indeed. I think it makes smaller size type a lot easier to read. It's taking a little getting used to, especially in apps like Tweetbot that use the system font throughout the app. But I think it's pretty great overall.

First one is iOS 9
Second one is iOS 8 which I found on Google

Why can't everything just be [FONT='Comic Sans"] Comic Sans [/FONT]

I kid, I kid.

I'm loving it but I can't help to notice some inconsistencies here and there, for example here you have the scores with SF but the weather (and the calendar date and the lockscreen clock) still use Helvetica Neue.

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere - will text editing be improved? For example will we be able to more easily move the cursor? I find the current long hold method very hit and miss.
Thanks.

Yep, there's a two-finger gesture which you use on the keyboard itself to move the cursor and select text

Personally I hate this font. It look like font from a fake iPhone running on Android.

The lockscreen clock isn't in Helvetica for me, everything is in San Francisco. Are you sure you still have Helvetica?

Mine is, although it's not easy to tell the difference. The "1" is easy to tell that it's in San Francisco.

Oh, sorry, this statement was from what I've seen, I don't have the beta.

Yep, you have to look closely.

the new font is horrible, really ugly. It's no improvement over Helvetica so no idea why they changed it. I work with typefaces everyday and this is the type of font I would avoid. Terrible choice.

Honestly, from the screenshots of people running it on OS X and iOS before the "official" versions were put out, I thought it was awful. After using it myself in El Capitan and iOS 9, I have to say that I quite like it. If you haven't tried it yet on your own devices / Macs, I would hold your judgment until you do.
