My secrets to beautiful Squarespace typography (bonus font guide included)

Choosing and combining fonts is an art, not a science.

Whether that's for a digital platform (like your website) or in print, typography can make or break your branding.

Typography is a hugely important design element, one which can have an instant impact on how people interact with your brand.

There are many different considerations when choosing the fonts to use, and those apply whether you're talking about your Squarespace website or design and marketing collateral.

I presume you haven't been to design school and are here for the Coles Notes (ain't no shame) so I've rounded up my favourite tips for beautiful Squarespace typography. Since there's so much to learn about this subject, let's dive right in!

How to easily find out what Squarespace template a website is using - video tutorial

Picture this: You're browsing online, flipping from site to site when all of a sudden you stop in your tracks. Wow, you think to yourself, this website looks great.

"I wish my website looked like that!" <--- your next thought (probably).

Lucky for you, my friend, it's not too hard to do if that website is also powered by Squarespace.

One of my favourite parts about the internet is that you're constantly exposed to really neat design elements. If you find a site you like, and it runs on Squarespace, it's easy to recreate something similar on your own website.

Squarespace has a library of nearly 40 templates to choose from in a variety of styles and functionality. Some of these templates share common elements but others are more distinctive. Playing around with the different templates is one of Squarespace's most appealing features, in my opinion.

When you find a Squarespace site that you like, it's surprisingly easy to figure out which template it is using. You can then go ahead and recreate something similar on your own website by using that same template too.

I made a short video (embedded below) that will show you exactly how easy it is to find out which Squarespace template a website is using. Read on to learn more!
