As you may know, Notion offers three fonts: Default, Serif and Mono. While you can use all of them, there are quite a few ways to add Notion custom fonts.

The best way to add Notion custom fonts is using the Simple.ink website builder and selecting your favourite font. The possibilities are endless!

Can I add custom fonts in Notion?

To shortly answer your question, there is no way to import your custom fonts in Notion. You're pretty much stuck with Notion's 3 fonts.

But fear not, our quick fix that we're going to show in this guide will solve your situation.

What font does Notion use?

By default, Notion uses the Sans-Serif Workhorse font. This is the generic font that's used for any newly-opened account or a freshly-started page in Notion.

How to change the font in Notion

So, there are four methods to change the font in Notion:

  1. Notion's 3 fonts
  2. Fancy text platforms
  3. Equations
  4. Notion custom fonts (Simple.ink feature)

Let's start the guide with the first way on how to customise Notion's fonts!

Method 1: Notion's 3 fonts

This is the easiest way to change the font, though your options are limited - you only have 3 fonts to choose from.

First of all, go to your Notion page. In the top-right corner, you'll see the three-dot icon. Click it.

The very first section on the dropdown is the "STYLE" section, and the first option is tied to the font.

As you can see, there is a quick preview for each of the three fonts in which you can change your Notion page's appearance.

Keep in mind that changing the font from Default to Serif or Mono will change the font on your whole Notion page. You can't change the font for just a section of your page, as the changes apply to every text on your page.

Method 2: Fancy text platforms

This option will allow you to change the font for just a characters throughout the page, unlike the first method which changes the font for all of the characters on your page.

To change the font in Notion with this method, you'll have to search for 'Fancy Text Websites'. Though, we've got you covered with a few websites right here: Fancy Text Generator, Cool Symbol, Fancy Text Guru, The Fancy Text. Don't worry, they're all free to use.

To use these websites, you just have to pick one of them, add your text, choose your favourite font, copy it, and paste it in Notion. Let's make a quick example!

As you can see, for this example, we've used the Fancy Text Generator website. Upon writing in the left side's box, the website generated us lots of text with custom & fancy fonts.

The next step was copying the text with a font that we liked from the right side's box, and then going to a Notion page and pasting it. The outcome was this:

Pretty cool, right? The best part is that everybody that comes on your Notion page can see all of your customised text!

Method 3: Equations

The third way to change the font in Notion may look a bit more complicated, but hey, the outcome is really awesome.

This method implies the use of LaTeX, which is a language that's used for Notion's equations. With the help of LaTeX, we can customise the text in pretty nice ways.

First of all, type "/equation" in Notion. That'll build an Equation block.

Then, you have to add the following line of code within that block:

\color{TypeAColour}\text{Your text goes here}

Of course, you can change the text and the colour of the text to whatever you want. Here are a few ways to customise your text even more:

  1. Bold: \color{TypeAColour}\textit{Your text goes here}
  2. Italic: \color{TypeAColour}\textbf{Your text goes here}
  3. Custom font 1: \color{TypeAColour}\texttt{Your text goes here}
  4. Custom font 2: \color{TypeAColour}\textsf{Your text goes here}

Once you're done choosing your favourite text appearance, your text should look like this:

Method 4: Notion custom font

The fourth method on adding Notion custom fonts is the handiest, as you can use any font from over the internet. First, you need to get a Notion website.

Once you've built your website, you'll want to go to the Simple.ink Dashboard and scroll down a bit. Then, change the font in the "Custom Font" section.
