Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has experience using special or fancy fonts (like styled text or Unicode fonts) within Salesforce either in UI components, emails, or custom apps.
I’ve seen some external tools/apps that generate these styled fonts, but I’m not sure how well they work inside Salesforce (especially in terms of compatibility, readability, and user experience).
Has anyone tried this before? Are there any best practices or limitations when using such fonts in Salesforce environments?
Would love to hear your thoughts or recommendations.
Thanks!

Hi @tom smite
,
You can use custom typography in Salesforce, but the safest approach depends on where you’re using it.
For Salesforce UI / LWC / Aura apps:
- You can use a custom font by uploading it as a Static Resource and loading the CSS with lightning/platformResourceLoader / loadStyle, or with Aura ltng:require.
- Salesforce’s guidance still leans toward staying aligned with SLDS and using styling hooks / utility classes where possible, so heavily “fancy” typography in core UI should be used sparingly.
