Typography

You can set the font style and size for the text on your online store. You can choose a system font or a custom font.

It's recommended that you use system fonts in your store. Using system fonts avoids downloading new fonts to your customer's computer, which can negatively impact your store load speed. The font that displays on your customer's computer depends on their operating system.
