At Adobe MAX on 10 November, Monotype launched a Monotype Connect panel for Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. It syncs a team's approved font libraries into the apps and flags fonts in a layout that fall outside a chosen library, leaving designers to approve each replacement. It is included in Monotype Connect, Connect Pro and Connect for Agencies plans with the Creative Cloud 2027 updates; a Monotype Fonts panel is planned later.
brand teams will welcome the guardrails; for designers, it moves font policing from the brand book into the application itself.
