Typography

Last updated 3 days ago

Was this helpful?

Text plays a significant role on your website. Both the content and the typography you use are crucial for building a strong visual identity that resonates with customers.

Before starting

Typography greatly influences your website's visual identity. Choosing the right font helps customers connect with your brand.

Before adjusting typography settings, consider your brand's mission and identity. Make sure any changes support the visual identity that resonates with your customers.

Getting started

1

Align with brand identity

Choose fonts that reflect your brand’s personality (e.g., modern, classic, playful).

2

Prioritize readability

Ensure body text is clear and legible on all devices.

3

Limit font pairings

Use 1-2 fonts max (e.g., one for headings, one for body text) to maintain consistency.

4

Capitalization

Type settings can be used to further customize which fonts are used throughout your theme. These settings can be used to change capitalization and font families.

5

Consider performance

Opt for system fonts or lightweight web fonts to avoid slowing down your site.

6

Test accessibility

Ensure sufficient contrast () and scalable text for all users.

7

Match customer expectations

Luxury brands may use serifs; minimalist brands often prefer clean sans-serifs.

8

Preview across devices

Check how fonts render on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Font settings

Control the typography appearance throughout your theme.

1

Font Family:

  • Maximum 2 fonts recommended.

  • Body Font: Main content.

  • Heading Font: All headings.

  • Navigation Font: Buttons/menus.

2

Sizing:

  • Base Size: Reference point.

  • Scale Ratio: Heading proportions.

Icon styles

Icons play a key role in your theme’s visual identity, enhancing usability and reinforcing brand style. Choose from multiple design options—such as sharp (modern, precise) or round (friendly, approachable)—to align with your brand’s aesthetic. Consistent icon styling ensures a polished, cohesive experience across your site.
