Frequently asked questions
Will changing font size affect my whole site or just one page?
It depends on where you make the change. Editing an individual text block only affects that block, while site-wide style settings apply everywhere that font is used.
Can I use custom fonts in Squarespace?
Squarespace offers a range of built-in font pairings, and formatting settings let you adjust size and style within those options to match your brand.
Does font formatting affect page load speed?
Standard text formatting changes like size and style have minimal impact on load speed since they're handled through Squarespace's native styling tools.
How do I keep formatting consistent across my whole site?
Apply the same font choices to each text element type, like headings and body text, so the styling stays uniform as you build out new pages.
