**Fonts** sets the type your site is drawn in. There are two choices, each from a short list.

Open **Site** in the list (the sidebar on the iPad and Mac), the **Layout** tab. A choice waits for the tab's check mark, then the site wears it.

## Name and tabs

*The showcase's name, the tabs, and the wall's room titles.* Each row shows your showcase's name in that face, so you can compare them right there.

## Text

*Everything else: titles, descriptions, pages, labels.* Each row shows your subtitle (or a sample line) in that face.

## The faces

- **System**: the device's and the browser's own face. This is what a site uses until you choose.
- **Julius Sans One**: thin, wide capitals, for a name and the tabs.
- **Figtree**: a clean, friendly sans, for reading.

Tap or click a face to choose it, then publish the tab. To check, tap or click your address under the showcase's name to open your site. New faces appear in this list as soon as they are added, without an app update.

## Private by design

*Fonts are served from your own site, never from a font service, so nobody else learns who visits.* A visitor's browser asks only your site for its letters.
