In the editor, click on the blog title text to open the text toolbar.
Click the Text Style icon (it looks like “Aa”). This opens font customization options.
Select your desired font family and font size for the title.
Click outside the text box to save changes.
Repeat steps to customize the blog description font as needed.

Change Heading Fonts (H1, H2 etc)

Highlight a blog post heading like “H2” or “H3”.
Open the text toolbar and Text Style icon.

With these simple steps, you can easily change the title, heading and body text fonts on your Wix blog posts to customize their style.

Best Practices for Blog Fonts

When selecting which fonts to use in your blog posts, keep these best practices in mind:

Limit to 2-3 fonts – Don’t use too many different ones or it will look cluttered.
Use simple, easy to read fonts for body text. Sans serif fonts like Arial or Helvetica work well online.
Make headings bolder/larger than body text for visual hierarchy.
Be consistent with fonts used on other pages of your Wix website for branding flow.
Review on all devices to ensure fonts render properly on mobile.
Use font colors that have enough contrast against background.

By the following tips, you can choose blog post fonts your brand and keep users engaged on desktop or mobile.
