To begin your font search, you need to access the Text Tool in Canva. Look for the "Text" tab on the left-hand panel of the Canva editor. Click on it, and a wide range of text options will appear.

Step 2: Choosing a Text Element

Before searching for a specific font, you need to decide which text element you want to modify. Canva offers various text elements like headings, subheadings, and body text. Choose the appropriate element based on where you want to apply the new font.

Step 3: Opening the Font Menu

Once you've selected your desired text element, click on it to activate editing mode. A toolbar will appear at the top of your canvas. Look for the "Font" dropdown menu in this toolbar and click on it.

Step 4: Searching for Fonts

The Font dropdown menu will display a list of categories such as "All," "Sans Serif," "Serif," "Display," etc. Within these categories, there are numerous fonts available.

  • Bold: To make your search easier and faster, use the search bar within the Font dropdown menu. Simply type in keywords related to your desired font style or name.
  • Bold: For example, if you're looking for a script font, type "script" in the search bar. Canva will instantly filter the fonts and display only the ones that match your search.

Step 5: Previewing and Applying Fonts

As you browse through the font options, Canva allows you to preview how each font looks with your chosen text element. This feature is incredibly useful in helping you visualize how the font will appear in your design.

To preview a font, simply click on it within the Font dropdown menu. Canva will automatically apply that font to your selected text element, allowing you to see it in real-time.

Step 6: Making Your Final Font Selection

Once you've found a font that resonates with your design, simply click on it to select it. Canva will then apply this font to your chosen text element throughout your design.
