Why Changing Fonts Matters for Your Squarespace Website

Typography plays a major role in how visitors perceive your brand. Choosing the right font can improve readability, strengthen your design, and make your site look more professional.

Whether you’re refreshing your brand identity or just adjusting a few style elements, Squarespace makes it easy to update your fonts across your entire website.

Step 1: Open the Site Styles Panel

Start by logging into your Squarespace website.
In the top-right corner of your site editor, you’ll see a small brush icon — this is called Site Styles.

Click on it to open your global design settings.

Step 2: Change the Global Font

Once inside Site Styles, you’ll see the first box labeled Fonts.
Click that to open your font customization options.

Here, you can adjust the global font settings — meaning changes will apply to your entire website, including headings, paragraphs, and buttons (unless you modify them individually).

Step 3: Customize Font Styles Individually

If you want more control, you can change the fonts for specific text types:

Headings: Perfect for titles and section headers.
Paragraphs: For the main body text throughout your site.
Buttons: To ensure consistency with your brand’s tone.

Within each section, you can modify the font family, weight, size, spacing, and other advanced settings to achieve the exact look you want.

Step 4: Save and Review Your Changes

After you finish customizing, click Save in the top-left corner.
Preview your site to make sure the new fonts look balanced across desktop and mobile views.

Conclusion

And that’s it! You now know how to change font on Squarespace quickly and effectively. Updating your site’s typography can make a big difference in your overall design and user experience.
