We’re happy to announce that you can now upload your own fonts plus an awesome feature to access Google Web Fonts. Fonts can make or break a design. Now it’s time to\u00a0show you how to use the new upload font feature. Let’s get to it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How to Use the New Upload Font Feature (Plus Google Web Fonts)<\/span><\/h1>\n

First, I have to tell you I’m a bit of a font geek, therefore Stencil’s new upload font feature is the ULTIMATE\u00a0feature of all time. I’m a fanatic of fonts. Ready to get fontabulous?! (Yes, it’s not a word, but when you’re this excited new words develop.)<\/p>\n

\"fontabulous
We now declare you fontabulous, where you can use fabulous fonts for your images.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stencil allows up to 50<\/strong> custom\u00a0fonts (includes uploaded fonts along with Google fonts). This is awesome\u00a0news! The sky’s the limit when creating designs.\u00a0You can now customize your images to match your business brand.<\/p>\n

Upload your own fonts<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here are a couple of areas you can access to upload your own fonts.<\/p>\n

\"My
Click on My Fonts to upload fonts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

or you can access by going to the right of the canvas under My Account.<\/p>\n

\"Import
Go to the right of your screen and click My Account to upload fonts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Accessing Google Web Fonts<\/span><\/h3>\n

Using Google Web Fonts has become incredibly easy to use with Stencil, you’ll have direct access to all the open source fonts that can be used however way\u00a0you’d like. Here’s where you can access the Google Web Fonts while you’re creating your designs in Stencil.<\/p>\n

\"Access
You can search for a Google font or choose from the list.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The awesome news about the integration of Google Web Fonts is that\u00a0we have full international support. We now have font support for Latin (Extended), Arabic, Bengali, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Thai, Vietnamese\u2026just to name a few!<\/p>\n

Where can you get more fonts to upload?<\/span><\/h4>\n

There are many creative sites that have bundles of fonts that you can download to your computer. Be warned! It may lead to an obsession… it’s all in the sake of creativity and design, right?<\/p>\n

You can find fonts from free\u00a0to crazy expensive. Whichever fonts you choose to download always check for licensing to make sure you are able to use it freely for your designs.<\/p>\n

Here are some sites that you can peruse and potentially find your favorite font:<\/p>\n

MyFonts<\/a><\/p>\n

Creative Market<\/a><\/p>\n

Luvly Marketplace<\/a><\/p>\n

Mighty Deals<\/a><\/p>\n

The HungryJPEG<\/a><\/p>\n

The most dangerous areas on these sites for the font-obsessed are called bundles. I’ve warned you!<\/p>\n

What types of fonts should you choose?<\/span><\/h5>\n

The handwriting script fonts are popular and can be used to accentuate a word or small phrase in your image.<\/p>\n

\"Achieve
Used Sverige Script and Impact fonts in this image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Use script fonts sparingly to create a look you’d like the achieve. Being clear in your message is always a must. People will scroll past an image if they can’t make out the words.<\/p>\n

No matter what font you choose to use, make sure it’s legible.<\/p>\n

The wonderful thing about uploading your own fonts is that there is such a variety that you can try.<\/p>\n

Important Notes About Fonts<\/span><\/h6>\n

Be careful when deleting fonts from the My Fonts tab. If images were created using those fonts, and the fonts have been deleted, the text in those images will default back to Fredoka One. Delete\u00a0wisely!<\/p>\n

The upload fonts feature is exclusively for Pro \/ Unlimited users only. Sign up to become a Pro or Unlimited user here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
