Typography
By default, we provide several web-safe fonts for use when creating Content and Blasts. Some organization's may have a unique font that is regularly used and already pre-installed on your audience's devices, so the Custom Font option is available for your team to include that as an option.
Once added, the Custom Font can be selected as a Type Scale style font and in Blast and Content text editors.
