Use default fonts

Default fonts can be used in all types of content and are designed to load on most platforms and devices. 

  • Navigate to your content:

    • Website Pages: In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Website > Website Pages.
    • Landing Pages: In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Landing Pages.
    • Blog: In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Website > Blog.
    • Knowledge Base: In your HubSpot account, navigate to Service > Knowledge Base.
    • Email: In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Email.
  • Hover over your content and click Edit
  • In the content editor, click a rich text module, then highlight the text you want to edit.

Use web fonts

Web fonts are available by default in the content editor for pages using starter templates and themes, as well as knowledge base articles and custom modules.

If you're a developer, you can also use the font field to add web fonts to themes and custom modules. When used in these ways, web fonts are not loaded from a third-party service; HubSpot will instead load them directly on the content's domain.

Please note: web fonts cannot be selected in the font dropdown menu of the rich text editor. 

You can also use third-party services such as Google Fonts by copying the font's import code, pasting it into content's stylesheet, then applying the font through CSS:

  • Navigate to fonts.google.com.
  • In the search bar, enter a font name
  • Click the font name to view a list of styles available to import.
  • Next to each style you want to import, click + Select this style
  • In the right panel, select @import in the Use on the web section. 
  • Copy the font's code: 
    • In the Use on the web section, copy the @import code without the <style> tag.
    • In the CSS rules to specify families field, copy the code for setting CSS rules.

To use a font in content, upload the font's files to the files tool. It's recommended to upload at least .woff, .ttf, & .eot versions of the font to ensure your font loads on all browsers. You can use the Expert mode on Font Squirrel's converter tool to generate additional file formats.

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Files.

  • On your computer's hard drive, select the font files, then click Open
  • Click the name of an uploaded font file. 
  • In the right panel, click Copy URL to copy the URL where the file is hosted. You will need the URL for the font in each file format. 

Use a custom font in a stylesheet

Once you've added a custom font to the files tool, you can reference it in a stylesheet. Each font style (italics, bold, etc.) will require a separate @font-face rule. Learn more about working with stylesheets in HubSpot

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Design Tools.
  • In the finder, open the stylesheet used for your content.

    • Replace Your Font Name with the name of the font.
    • Replace your_font_file.xxx? with the URL from the files tool. Repeat for each file format. 
  • Create CSS rules with the font-family property to apply the custom font. 
  • In the top right, click Update or Publish to take your changes live.
