Font customization and typography in Confluence
View All Tags
Confluence uses a system font stack that looks different on every operating system. You can't change the default font globally, and Confluence offers no built-in way to use custom fonts on individual pages. This guide shows what font Confluence uses and how to add custom fonts.
Confluence ships with a fixed set of system fonts. For most teams that works fine, but if your company has brand guidelines, an accessibility requirement for specific typefaces, or simply wants documentation that looks polished and professional, the default typography falls short.
The Atlassian Marketplace now offers several apps that let you use custom fonts on your Confluence pages. But with different feature sets, pricing models, and levels of maturity, choosing the right one takes more than a quick glance at star ratings.
This post compares the leading Confluence custom font apps side by side so you can make an informed decision for your team.
Custom fonts in Confluence let you apply brand typography to your documentation. This guide covers Google Fonts for Confluence — 1,798+ font families, live preview, dark mode support, and customization options.
Google Fonts for Confluence gives you access to over 1,798 Google Fonts directly inside your Confluence pages. You can customize font family, weight, size, color, and alignment with a live preview that shows exactly how your text will look before you save. This step-by-step tutorial walks through everything: installing the app, configuring fonts, applying them across spaces, and maintaining a consistent typographic system that respects accessibility and brand standards.
Every Confluence page looks the same — same font, same size, same limited formatting. When you want a landing page that stands out, a team announcement that gets read, or documentation that looks professional, Confluence's built-in typography holds you back.
Several apps on the Atlassian Marketplace try to solve this. We built Google Fonts for Confluence to give teams access to the full Google Fonts library (1,798+ families) with a live preview editor. In this post we compare it against every alternative so you can choose the right one.
