Tired of Squarespace’s Font Picker? Try This.
The native font picker in Squarespace is cramped and limited. And good luck if you’re also trying to match fonts across Adobe, Google, or Canva. So I built the tool I needed: a searchable, filterable font directory that actually shows what’s available inside Squarespace.
You can also grab the free font guide I put together. It’s got pairing ideas, typography tweaks, and a walkthrough for installing custom fonts the right way.

The Native Font Picker Doesn’t Show You Everything
If you’ve used Squarespace more than once, you already know how limiting the font interface is. You get a small preview window, a short scroll, and a handful of select fonts in default categories: Serif, Sans Serif, Display, Script, Mono. The lists end quickly, and the full inventory is buried in an endless scroll in a tiny window. Turns out Squarespace can load over 4,000 fonts. That includes more than 1,500 Google Fonts and a bigger pile of Adobe Fonts.
A Better Font Directory
This tool gives you the full list. Every font that currently exists in Squarespace, laid out in a fast, searchable, filterable directory. You can sort by category. You can filter by source. You can filter down to Google Fonts if you’re designing for a brand that needs free and open use. You can check Canva availability too.
Bonus: Pairings, Installs, and CSS Cleanup
To complement the directory, I’ve built a PDF guide that includes font pairing suggestions and a method for custom font installs (which is still a CSS workaround unless/until Squarespace finally rolls out custom font uploads), and my favorite CSS typography upgrades.
Feedback, Tips, and Future Updates
If the tool’s helpful, feel free to leave a tip. If something breaks or a font goes missing, there’s a feedback link on the directory page. It’s a live resource. As Squarespace continues to swap out fonts behind the scenes, I’ll try to keep it current.
Try it out. Share it. And bookmark it for the next time you’re staring at that nine-font-high preview window.
