Change the font

The font is one of the strongest brand signals in a Riddle. Pick one of the 35 hand-selected fonts, use a Google Font or an Adobe Font / Typekit project, or upload your own font file, so an embedded Riddle reads like a native part of your website. Fonts are set on the palette and apply to every Riddle that uses that palette.

The 35 pre-selected fonts are available on all plans. Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts / Typekit and uploading your own font are available on Business and Enterprise plans.

Use cases:

  • Your corporate font in every Riddle: upload your .woff2 file once and every Riddle on that palette uses it.
  • A Google Font that matches your website: pick the same family your site already uses, no upload needed.
  • Adobe Fonts for licensed typefaces: connect your Adobe Fonts web project with its project ID.
  • Different fonts for headings and buttons: use the font overrides for Body, Button, Choice and Header.
