## What it is
A mirror of Apple's San Francisco typeface, the system font used in watchOS, iOS 9, and OS X El Capitan. It provides the font files for designers and developers who want to use Apple's system typography outside Apple platforms.

## Use cases
- download the San Francisco font for design mockups
- use Apple's system font in a web project
- match iOS typography in Android or Windows designs
- get SF font files since Apple removed the old download page
- prototype Apple Watch interfaces with the correct font

## When to choose
- you need the classic San Francisco font files and Apple's official download is unavailable
- you want to replicate Apple system typography in non-Apple design tools

## When to avoid
- you need the latest SF Pro or SF Compact variants with current licensing
- you require an actively maintained project or official support
- your project needs a redistributable font license
