[1] The macOS Catalina font Galvji is similar to the San Francisco variant SF Pro Text but has lower leading and bigger spacing.

Stylistic fonts exist, which are mainly present in the iOS 16 Lock Screen, Apple Cash, watchOS Watch Faces, and several promotional materials.

These include chiseled, stenciled, semi-rounded, dotted, prisma, railed, and slab-serif versions.

In 2017, a revised version, SF Pro was introduced, supporting an expanded list of weights, optical sizes, glyphs and languages.

These fonts, for use in different languages, can be found on the Apple website in their corresponding regions of use as variations of SF Pro: SF Pro is a variable font that also has variable widths in conjunction with weights, optical sizes, and grades.

One of them is a print-optimized variant, SF Hello, which is restricted to Apple employees and permitted contractors and vendors, and is therefore unavailable for public use.

Vertical edges are fully straight and kerning is much closer, unlike in SF Condensed.

Introduced on September 10, 2019 at Apple's keynote; Phil Schiller mentioned it while summarizing the camera updates on iPhone 11 Pro.

It also includes OpenType features for lining and old-style figures in both proportional and tabular widths.

These symbols change their thickness and negative space according to chosen weight and utilize the OpenType Variation feature.

Developers are allowed to customize it to desired styles and colors, but certain symbols may not be modified and may only be used to refer to its respective Apple services or devices as listed in the license description.

Since its introduction, San Francisco has gradually replaced most of Apple's other typefaces on their software and hardware products and for overall branding[15] and has replaced Lucida Grande and Helvetica Neue as the system typeface of macOS and iOS since OS X El Capitan and iOS 9.
