Choosing a Website Font Set
The easiest way to maintain consistent typography across your website is by using a predefined font set.
Each font preset automatically applies matching fonts to:
- headings;
- subheadings;
- paragraphs;
- quotes;
- and other text elements.
This means every newly added block will automatically follow the selected typography style without additional editing.
Step 1: Open Site Styles
In the editor control panel, click the Website Styles icon.
Step 2: Open the Typography Section
Navigate to the Typography section.
Here you can browse the available font presets and choose the typography style that best matches your website design.
Filter Fonts by Writing System
Use the filter icon to display fonts for:
- Latin characters;
- Cyrillic characters;
- or all supported writing systems.
This is especially useful for multilingual websites.
Upload Your Own Font
If the built-in font library does not meet your needs, you can upload a custom font to your website.
We support .woff format for the custom fonts. If your font is in another format, you can convert it to .woff using some tools like Convertio or FontSquirrel (in FontSquirrel, we recommend using the "Basic" option to convert fonts, so the font keeps the same characters supported as before).
How to Customize Fonts for Specific Text Types
You can also configure typography separately for different text categories, such as:
- headings;
- subheadings;
- paragraphs;
- quotes;
- captions.
This helps create a more flexible and visually structured website design.
Step 1: Open Typography
In the chosen Preset section of Site Styles, click the currently selected font preset to open detailed typography settings:
Step 2: Select a Text Type
Hover over the text category you want to edit and click the gear icon.
You can customize typography settings independently for each text type.
Step 3: Choose a Device Type
Typography can be configured separately for:
- desktop;
- tablet;
- mobile devices.
This helps optimize readability and responsive design on all screen sizes.
