Squarespace Now Lets You Upload Custom Fonts (No Code Needed)

This is a game-changer for web design. A technique that previously required a fair bit of CSS coding can now be done with a simple upload. Squarespace now allows you to add custom fonts directly through Site Styles, making it easier than ever to bring your brand to life online — no coding required.

Why This Update Matters

Fonts do more than just display text — they define your brand’s personality. Fonts shape how people perceive your brand, creating an impression of its style before they even start reading. With the ability to upload your own font in Squarespace, your website can now align seamlessly with your logo, social media, and other brand assets, creating a cohesive and professional look that truly reflects your business.

How to Upload a Custom Font in Squarespace

  1. Open your Squarespace dashboard

  2. Go to DesignSite Styles

  3. Click on either Headings or Paragraphs

  4. Select the font dropdown

  5. Choose Upload Font

  6. Upload your font file and apply it instantly

Once uploaded, your custom font becomes part of your site’s typography options and can be reused throughout your design.

What You’ll Need Before Uploading

  • A font file in a supported format (.woff, .woff2, .ttf, or .otf)

  • The correct licence for web use

  • A clear idea of where the font should be used (headings, body text, or both)

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

  • Stick to one or two fonts to keep your site feeling clean and intentional

  • Make sure body text remains easy to read on all screen sizes

  • Test your site on mobile after applying the font

  • Always double-check font licensing before uploading
