One way to add some personality to your Canva designs is by using custom fonts. Custom fonts are fonts that are not included in the default set of fonts that come with Canva. Custom fonts have lots of benefits but one I’ve found helpful is time saving.
Custom fonts save me a lot of time during my design process. If you’re using a lot of different fonts in your designs, it can be time-consuming to find the perfect font for each design element. By using a set of custom fonts that you’ve carefully selected, you can streamline your design process and save time.
How to Upload Fonts to Canva?
Open Canva https://www.canva.com/ and create a design.
Write a text. I want to apply a font that is Book Antiqua, but that font is not available on Canva.
First, download that font from any free website that can be used for personal and commercial use. I’m using https://freefontsfamily.com/ this site for downloading the font Book Antiqua.
Scroll down the page and click on Download. Your download will start.
Open File Explorer and Click Download option. Now you will see the zip file of your font. Do the right click and Click on Extract to Book Antiqua. A new folder will be readily named Book Antiqua.
Open the file, and you will have the font file in TTF format, which you can easily add to your Canva.
Now open Canva. Click on Text, then click on Edit, which is written right to the Untitled Brand kit.
A dialog box appears. Click on Uploaded fonts.
And then uploaded a font.
Click on Font Folder.
Select your font, which is in TTF format.
Then click on Yes to confirm. Now your font is added.
Write a Text and search for the font that you have just downloaded.
See your font here on Canva font, and click on the font to apply it to the text.
That’s how you upload or install a font in Canva.
