The Editor mode offers a variety of fonts to choose from to customize the appearance of the email template.
However, not all of the available Fonts in the Editor mode will be displayed.
**Remember that Gmail, Outlook, and other email providers restrict the fonts that can be used in their email communication.Imported fonts will not be displayed in the customer email unless the customer has that font installed ***(example: Montserrat)***That being said, it is recommended to use ****ONLY**** email-safe fonts instead.**
What are email-safe fonts?
Email-safe fonts (also known as web-safe fonts) are those supported by all major email clients. Theyāre the typefaces you can be sure will look good, no matter which email client your subscribers use to read your emails.
Email-safe fonts (also referred to as web-safe fonts) are fonts that are compatible with all major email clients. You can rely on these font styles to appear visually pleasing, regardless of the specific email client your recipients use to read your emails.
The most popular safe fonts for emails
Arial
Courier
Courier New
Georgia
Helvetica
Helvetica Neue
Lucida
Tahoma
Times
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
All the fonts mentioned earlier are super easy to read. Georgia, Verdana, and Trebuchet are some of the simplest and most readable.
Email client support
Since different email client providers have varying levels of support for web fonts (not the same as web-safe fonts), it's a good idea to check where most of your subscribers tend to open their emails, which in most cases, this information is unavailable.
Table based on this data.

**(Google overrides fonts ā default on Android is Roboto, on iOS looks like Helvetica)
***(Fonts overridden ā Roboto is default sans-serif)
****(ish. Liked Roboto, so thereās limited support of very specific web fonts ā probably specific ones from Google Fonts, possibly only Roboto since itās Googleās default)
