Best Fonts in Wix & Canva (Plus Favorite Pairings)

This post is a follow up to a previous post I wrote about Squarespace and Canva fonts. Since I work with both platforms I thought it would be helpful to have a similar post just for Wix.

I get so many questions on selecting fonts so hopefully these posts help make that process easier. It’s so frustrating to fall in love with a font only to find out it’s not readily available in all the places you’d like to use it. Now, you don’t have to use the exact same fonts across all of your marketing, but they do need to be similar and using the same fonts can help with brand consistency and making your brand memorable.

One thing to note is that Wix does have a smaller font library than Squarespace, but it’s MUCH easier to upload fonts to use on Wix because no code is needed. If you want to learn more about uploading fonts into Wix check out this article.
