Notion offers a few built-in font options, but what if you want more customization without using any third-party plugins? In this guide, I’ll not only show you how to use the three official font options provided by Notion, but also teach you a simple, free method to unlock even more font styles using formulas. No plugins needed, and everything is completely free! Let’s get started and make your Notion pages truly your own.
To access the Notion page, please click here.
The three built-in fonts in Notion are: Default, Serif, and Mono. These fonts will apply to the entire page, including the page title, and cannot be used to modify specific sections individually. Here are the steps to change the font:
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner to open the menu.
2. Select "Font"—Notion currently offers three font styles.
3. Choose a font to change the entire page's font.
Notion supports the KaTeX library, and the method I’m sharing is based on this. It allows you to apply different font styles on the same page. I’m demonstrating four font styles here, but in reality, KaTeX also provides many special symbols and formulas. To view the full list of available formulas, click here. Below are the detailed steps to change font styles.
(PS: You need to repeat steps 1 and 2 before entering any formula each time.)
Steps to Change Font Styles:
- Type
/mathto bring up the formula options.
2. Select "Inline equation" (You’ll need to repeat this step before each formula input).
3. Type \Bbb{content}.
4. Click "Done" to see the font style applied.
5. Type \bf{content}.
6. Click "Done" to see the font style applied.
7. Type \text{content}.
8. Click "Done" to see the font style applied.
9. Type \footnotesize{content}.
10. Click "Done" to see the font style applied.
Increasing Font Size:
KaTeX offers 3 font sizes. I’ll list them from smallest to largest: \large, \Large, \LARGE. Make sure to use the correct case. To apply these, simply add the size command before the font formula, like this: \large\Bbb{content}.
