  2. Apply fonts through Site Style

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Clear formatting when copying/pasting text
  • Ensure font weight is above 100 for mobile readability
  • Check domain settings if fonts change after logging in
  • Use rem values for consistent scaling
  • Verify Adobe Fonts project settings for special characters

Font changes apply site-wide for consistency. Some fonts may render differently across devices and browsers. If a font becomes unavailable, Squarespace will replace it with the closest match from their library.
