Verdana Pro — a polished, highly legible update to a classic screen font

Human-built. AI-enhanced.

Verdana Pro from Microsoft Corporation delivers the familiar Verdana design with improved typographic refinements, additional weights and better screen rendering—ideal for readable UI and body text across devices, though licensing and platform restrictions may limit use outside Windows environments.

Verdana is a humanist sans-serif typeface by Matthew Carter, originally released with Windows 98 and developed to improve on-screen legibility. Its design emphasizes a large x-height, open counters and generous spacing, which make small text and low-resolution displays easier to read.

Verdana Pro expands the family with additional weights, italics and condensed variants, broadening utility for user interfaces, web and editorial layouts. The Pro family maintains consistent metrics across styles and supports European languages using Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts.

Pros

Modernized update of the classic Verdana typeface with improved metrics and hinting for better on-screen legibility
Expanded family with multiple weights and styles (including italics) useful for UI, print and digital branding
Likely includes OpenType features and improved kerning/spacing compared with older system Verdana
Designed and distributed by Microsoft, consistent with Windows typography and Microsoft product ecosystems
Professional quality production suitable for corporate and design use
Good for accessible interfaces because original Verdana was optimized for readability at small sizes

Cons

Proprietary commercial font — requires purchase or a Microsoft Store license rather than free use
Licensing may be restrictive for embedding in apps, websites, or for redistribution — verify terms before commercial use
May not be available or fully supported on non-Microsoft platforms or older systems
If you only need the original Verdana, the differences may be subtle and not justify cost for all users
Not a variable font (if you need fine-grained weight variation a modern variable family may be preferable)

Can I use Verdana Pro in commercial projects (websites, apps, print)?

Usage rights depend on the license provided with the Verdana Pro package from Microsoft.

Can I embed Verdana Pro in a website using @font-face or use it in ebooks?

Embedding is governed by the font’s license. Some Microsoft-distributed fonts allow embedding with restrictions, while others do not. Before embedding Verdana Pro on a website or including it in ebooks, verify the license permissions in the Microsoft Store listing or obtain an appropriate webfont/embedding license if required.

How do I get support or report issues with Verdana Pro?

For installation, licensing, or technical issues, consult the Microsoft Store product page and the support options linked there. You can also contact Microsoft Support or visit Microsoft Typography documentation for font-specific guidance.

Will Verdana Pro receive updates? How are updates delivered?

Updates (bug fixes, new weights, or improved hinting) are delivered through the Microsoft Store or the update mechanism used to distribute the font. Keep the Microsoft Store app updated and watch the product page for update notices; if you obtained the font through another channel, follow that vendor’s update process.
