Carrd custom fonts and builtin fonts

Last updated on 12/3/2025@mrbirddev
Carrd custom fonts and builtin fonts

Carrd gives you three broad ways to control typography: built‑in Google Fonts, serving those fonts locally, and embedding completely custom fonts via CSS. This keeps simple sites easy to style while still letting you bring in brand fonts or language‑specific typefaces when you upgrade to Pro Standard or higher.

Uploading local fonts (Pro Standard)

If you are on Carrd Pro Standard or above, you can toggle ā€œServe fonts locallyā€ so that Carrd hosts the font files directly on your site instead of pulling them from the Google Fonts API. This is done from Publish → Settings → Options → ā€œServe fonts locally,ā€ then publishing your changes. For visitors, the experience is the same visually, but local serving can help with performance, privacy requirements, or situations where external CDNs are blocked. Reference: Serving Fonts Locally – Carrd docs.

Custom fonts via embed code

For fonts that are not on Carrd’s built‑in list, Pro Standard users can use the Embed element to insert custom HTML and CSS. The typical pattern is to either import a font from Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or another CDN using @import or a <link> tag, or to define a self‑hosted @font-face rule pointing to your own .woff / .woff2 files, then apply that font-family to specific elements using CSS selectors or element IDs. This works because the Embed element can output <style> tags either inline or into the <head> of your Carrd site. References: Embedding Custom Code – Carrd docs and the Reddit walkthrough on using Google Fonts with Carrd’s Embed element: Can external fonts be added to Carrd?.

Builtin fonts (Free)

To use Carrd’s built‑in fonts, select any text element, go to its Appearance settings, and choose a font from the Font dropdown — no code or upgrade needed.

Full list of builtin fonts

Below is a reference list of Carrd’s built‑in fonts as Google Fonts. You can mix and match these for headings, body text, and accents, and language‑tagged entries are especially useful if you are designing for Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese, or Chinese.
