Mac Icon font


If retro Macs built out out LEGO that double as iPad stands aren’t your thing, maybe you’ll enjoy this little Easter Egg of sorts that Apple seems to have left on their 30th Mac Anniversary website. It’s a free 62 character font of Mac icons, ranging from the original Macintosh 128k through the PowerBook lineup, 20th anniversary Mac, all the way to the modern iMac, Mac Pro, and MacBook Pro models.


Installing the font is a piece of cake, done the same as any other font in OS X:



  1. Download the Mac Icon font directly from Apple.com (link to .ttf font file)

  2. Double-click the TrueType Font file (mac-icon-standard.ttf is the exact file name), then choose “Install Font”

    Install the Macintosh icon font




Once it’s installed you can find it in the Font Book app, the general font preview tool, and of course it’ll be usable from any typing app from the usual font selector list, it’s called Mac Icon Standard.


Here is a quick overview of each of the included font icons, though you’ll be able to use high resolution versions of each by installing it yourself in OS X:

This font is used on Apple’s 30th anniversary celebration of the Macintosh site, whether or not it was intended to be downloadable by the rest of us isn’t known, so grab it while you can. An excellent find by @llsethj of 9to5mac on Twitter, cheers!
