Workshop Custom Typography Feature - Missing Documentation

Ask the Community
1

I’m trying to use the “Custom typeface” feature in Workshop settings (under Typography section), but I can’t find any documentation on how to actually install and use custom fonts.

What I see:

  • Workshop Settings → Typography → Custom typeface dropdown

  • Field asking to “Choose an installed typeface by typing its name”

  • System fonts are available (Arial, Helvetica, etc.)

  • But no instructions on how to add custom fonts

What I need to know:

  1. How do I upload/install custom font files (.otf or .ttf)?

  2. Where in Control Panel or Foundry do I configure this?

  3. How do I make custom fonts available organization-wide for Workshop?

What I’ve tried:

  • Searched official Foundry documentation - only found custom font docs for Slate, not Workshop

  • Checked Control Panel settings - no obvious font upload section

  • I have admin access but still can’t figure it out

Has anyone successfully used custom fonts in Workshop? If so, please share the steps!

Note: I know how to do this in Slate (using Blobster RIDs), but Workshop appears to work differently.

As of now you cannot upload fonts and this is dependent on what fonts are available on your local machine. If you choose a font that is available to you but not others it will revert back to the default workshop app. There is a plan at some point to allow users to upload fonts. The list of fonts shown by default are ones that you can somewhat safely assume will be installed on any modern device. If you choose a custom font it is less likely to exist across ecosystems.
