Adjusting text fonts in Squarespace is straightforward. Follow these steps based on whether you’re using a template with the Site Styles panel or the newer Squarespace 7.1 (which unifies style settings across templates).

Squarespace 7.1 (and many templates)

1. Open the site editor

   • Log in to your Squarespace account and open the site you want to edit.

   • Click Edit Site (or click Pages then a page and choose Edit).

2. Open Site Styles

   • In the editor, click the Paintbrush icon (Design) or the “Site Styles” button. This opens global style controls for fonts, colors, spacing, etc.

3. Change global fonts

   • Locate the Typography or Fonts section. You’ll see controls for Heading Font, Body Font, and sometimes UI or Button fonts.

   • Click a font selector to choose a new font from the built-in catalog. Scroll to see available families and styles (weights/italics).

   • Adjust font size, line height, letter spacing, and weight as needed. Changes apply site-wide so your headings and body text remain consistent.

4. Fine-tune specific elements

   • Within Site Styles you can usually target specific text types: H1, H2, H3, paragraph, caption, navigation, and buttons. Set sizes and spacing for each type to achieve a balanced hierarchy.

5. Save your changes

   • Click Save or Save & Publish to apply the new fonts site-wide.

Editing fonts for specific blocks or text

1. Edit a page or block

   • Enter Page Edit mode and click a text block (or any block that contains text).

2. Use the text editor toolbar

   • Apply inline formatting (bold, italic), choose paragraph vs. heading levels. Fonts for these are governed by your Site Styles; you can change only the heading level rather than the font family here.

3. Apply block-specific style (if your template supports it)

   • Some blocks offer design or style options where you can set size, alignment, and color specifically for that block.

Custom fonts and advanced options

1. Upload a custom font

   • In Design > Custom Files or Design > Custom Fonts (depending on version), upload font files (WOFF/WOFF2 recommended). Then assign them in Site Styles where custom fonts appear in the selector.

   • Check licensing before uploading any commercial font.

2. Use custom CSS

   • For precise control, go to Design > Custom CSS and add CSS rules targeting selectors (e.g., h1, .sqs-block-paragraph). Example: body { font-family: "Your Custom Font", system-ui, sans-serif; }

   • Custom CSS is powerful but can override responsive/site-style settings; test on multiple screen sizes.

Best practices

• Make global changes in Site Styles so typography stays consistent.

• Use 2–3 complementary fonts (one for headings, one for body, optional accent).

• Keep sizes responsive: use relative sizing in Site Styles or test on mobile.

• Limit weights and styles for performance—fewer font files load faster.

• Always preview across device sizes before publishing.
