Use your own fonts

When to use this

Use this page to change the typefaces your proposals speak in: pick a pairing from BloomBoard’s built-in library, or upload your studio’s own fonts. Set the document’s faces in one tap, fine-tune a single face, or give one piece of text on your own pages a special treatment, like your studio name in your signature script.

What you need first

• A proposal open in the design studio (from the event, choose Design).
• Your font files: OTF, TTF, WOFF, or WOFF2. If your font came with separate files for bold or italic, keep them handy so those styles print true.
• The license to use the fonts. Upload only fonts your studio has the rights to.

Pick a pairing

In the studio’s left rail, choose Fonts. The panel opens on Pairings: cards that each show a Display, Headings and Body face working together, drawn in their own faces with your client’s name as the sample.

• The first card is the template’s own faces, tagged Template. Tap it to return to how the template ships.
• Each font you have uploaded gets its own card, tagged Yours: your font on Display, with the template’s Headings and Body.
• The rest are pairings BloomBoard has put together from the library.

Hover a card to try it on the page. Tap it to keep it. The document repaints in place, exactly like colors. If your three faces match no card, a Custom tile at the top shows what you have.

Fine-tune one face

Under Fine-tune, the three rows show what this document uses for Display, Headings, and Body, and whether each is the template’s face or your pick. Tap a row to open the chooser for that one face. The template’s own face is pinned at the top; below it, your uploads come first, then the library grouped by voice: display serifs, text serifs, sans faces, and scripts. Use the search box or the Serif, Sans, Script and Yours chips to narrow the list. Hover a font to try it on the page, tap to keep it, and use the back arrow to return to the pairings.

Not every template paints all three faces. Modern Garden uses the Headings face only for the studio mark on its cover page and for headings inside your terms, and Romantic Luxe, Estate Lookbook and Golden Hour use it only for headings inside your terms. The Headings row says so on those templates. It stays available, because text boxes on your own pages set to Headings still follow it.

Upload your fonts

Changes apply to the document in front of you, exactly like colors. Save a preset to reuse the look on any event. Switching to a different template starts fresh with that template’s own fonts and colors.

Style one text box on your own pages

On your own pages, select a text box and open its editor. The font button in the toolbar shows the current font. Choose it to open the fonts panel:

• Follow the document switches the box between the document’s Display, Headings, and Body faces. Change a pairing on the Fonts panel and the box changes with it.
• Or give it one font applies a single font to this text box only, from your uploads or the library. The rest of the document does not change.

This is the place for a once-off treatment, like your studio name in a script face on a welcome page. Uploading from here ends with Use for this text.

Managing your fonts

Under Your fonts on the Fonts panel, each upload shows its styles. A dashed Add bold or Add italic chip opens the file picker for the missing file. Hover a row for Rename and Remove; removing asks you to confirm on the row. Removing a font takes it out of your list; text that used it shows the template’s face instead. Uploading any file of that font again brings the whole font back, with every style it had. A file that matches a style you already had replaces that copy. Library fonts have nothing to manage; they are part of BloomBoard and always available.

If the page shows the wrong fonts

Some browsers refuse web fonts: a content blocker with a “block web fonts” option, or Lockdown Mode on a Mac or iPhone. The studio then paints every face, yours and the library’s, with a stand-in, and picking a font seems to change nothing. When that happens the Fonts panel says so at the top. Your clients and your PDFs are not affected, because those are drawn on BloomBoard’s side. To see the real faces yourself, switch off content blockers for app.bloomboard.io or open the proposal in another browser.

What your clients see

Your fonts travel with the document everywhere it goes: the page your client opens, and the PDF. Once a proposal is sent, its fonts are frozen with it; changing or removing a font later never alters a sent document.
