Typeface and font are powerful design elements. They can completely elevate your content—emphasizing key messages, communicating your brand personality, conveying action and emotion, and much more.

Vev offers Google, Adobe, and custom font options, so you can express the full power of your brand and creative vision.

FAQs

Can I upload custom fonts on the Starter plan?
No, you'll need to upgrade to the Professional plan to use this function, as explained in the article.

Can I set a custom font as the default one in my project?
No, but you can use shared styles and reuse them as presets in your project. Learn more about them here.

Does using Google fonts in Vev violate GDPR regulations?
Google is a data processor that records IP addresses of visitors to your site in order to serve fonts from their CDN. This can be interpreted as an issue for GDPR because this identifying datapoint (IP address) is not necessarily stored in the EU.

You can safely use Google Fonts in your Vev projects without worrying about GDPR violations. Vev's Design Editor uses the Google Fonts API to give you access to the latest font versions. However, these fonts are transferred and hosted on the Vev CDN when you publish your project, meaning they can’t be tracked by Google.
