How to Add a Custom Font to Your Squarespace Website in 2026 (No Code Required)

If you’ve ever wanted your Squarespace website to feel more like you, more aligned, more intentional, less default, then adding a custom font is one of the simplest ways to get there.

And as of late 2025, Squarespace made this process much easier.

You no longer need to write CSS or touch any code to upload and use a custom font on your site. While the CSS method still works if you’re familiar with it, Squarespace’s new built-in font uploader is the best option for most founders, creatives, and small business owners.

In this post, I’ll walk you through exactly how to add a custom font to Squarespace step by step, no code required.

Why Custom Fonts Matter

Typography plays a huge role in how your brand is perceived. The right font can:

• Add personality and polish

• Help your website feel intentional instead of generic

• Support your brand voice and visual identity

Squarespace’s font library has expanded a lot over the years, and there are some great built-in options. But if you already have custom brand typogaraphy or want something more distinctive then uploading a custom font is a great next step.

How to Upload a Custom Font in Squarespace (The Easy Way)

Step 1: Open Site Styles and Go to Fonts

From your Squarespace editor:

1. Click Site Styles (the paintbrush icon)

2. Navigate to Fonts

If you started with a Squarespace template, your site will already be using a preset font pack. Font packs control the typography for headings, paragraphs, buttons, and other text styles.

To begin, click into Headings or Paragraphs — whichever text style you want to change first. (Headings are the most common place to use a custom font.)

Step 2: Upload Your Custom Font File

Inside the font panel:

1. Click on the font that’s currently selected

2. Look for the upload icon near the search bar

3. Drag and drop your font file, or click to select it from your computer

Make sure:

• The file type is supported (most .otf, .ttf, .woff, and .woff2 files work)

• You have the proper license to use the font on a website

Once uploaded, give it a moment to process.

Step 3: Assign the Font to Your Text Style

This is the step people often miss.

Uploading the font adds it to your site but you still need to assign it to a text style.

To do that:

1. Go back into Headings (or Paragraphs, Buttons, etc.)

2. Click the font dropdown

3. Scroll to the Uploaded section

4. Select your newly added font

Once selected, your headings (or whichever style you chose) will update across your site automatically.

That’s it! No code required.

A Note on Brand Consistency

Custom fonts are powerful, but they work best when used intentionally.

I always recommend:

• Limiting custom fonts to one or two styles

• Pairing them with clean, readable body text

• Applying them consistently across your site

A strong website doesn’t rely on more design elements, it relies on the right ones working together.
