Starting on August 5, 2025, Shopify’s font library will be updated. Some fonts are being deprecated, and new fonts will be added. All deprecated fonts used in your online store themes, checkout, and the Shopify Forms app will be automatically replaced with those of a similar style. After the automatic replacement, you can choose any other available font if you prefer.
Typography settings allow you to control the visual style of text throughout your store. You can customize fonts, sizes, spacing, and casing for different text types—such as headings, body text, and italicized content—to ensure consistency and align with your brand’s tone. These adjustments affect how your content appears site-wide, enhancing both readability and aesthetics.
Heading
FontSelect the typeface used for all heading elements (e.g., H1-H6)
Font size scaleAdjust the overall size of heading text as a percentage of the base size.
Letter spacingSet spacing between letters for headings using em units. Negative values tighten spacing.
Text letter caseChoose how heading text is transformed: Normal, Capitalized, or Uppercase.
Word breakControl how words break within headings:
  • Normal: Default browser behavior.
  • All: Breaks at any character.
  • Word: Breaks only between words.
Body
FontSelect the font used for general body text throughout the site.
Font size scaleAdjust the size of body text in proportion to the default size.
Letter spacingSet the spacing between letters in body text using em units.
Italic
FontChoose the font style specifically for italicized text.
Font size scaleAdjust the size of italic text relative to the base body text size.
The theme only supports fonts available through Shopify’s built-in font picker. Adding a custom font that isn’t listed requires custom coding, so you would need to work with a developer for that.
Yes, font choices can impact performance. Custom or web fonts may take longer to load, which can slow down your site. To maintain optimal speed, we recommend limiting the number of fonts you use and opting for system fonts when possible. These are pre-installed on all devices and are listed at the top of Shopify’s font picker.
For a good balance between branding and speed, consider using a system font for body text to ensure faster content display, and a different font for headings to reflect your brand identity.
