Filter fonts by classification

This is the singular reason why choosing fonts is so tedious in Figma. I’m thankful for the update to finally be able to see the font before applying it to my text (which is the literal bare minimum), but being able to see what a font looks like doesn’t make choosing a font any easier if you know what kind of font you need, but you still have to scroll through hundreds of alphabetically organised fonts of varying classifications that don’t apply to you, when a simple filter would make the decision 10 times quicker. It makes the experience of designing start to finish in Figma frustratingly difficult.

Its very-very hard to find font with handwriting style, or decorative font.
So, its will be simplified designer work flow (we all know choosing font is very consuming time for designer) if we have filter in font picker.

Spot on. Previewing fonts felt like a basic feature we should’ve had years ago, but the lack of categorization is the real bottleneck. Scrolling through hundreds of random fonts just to find a decent sans-serif or display face completely breaks design flow and momentum. A simple filter by classification (Serif, Sans, Script, Monospace) or style tags would save so much time. Hope the Figma team is listening!
