What Are Font Kits?
A font kit is a collection of fonts that you assign to one or more brands.
When you assign a font kit to a brand, only the fonts in that kit are available when creating or editing assets for that brand. This helps maintain consistent typography across your content.
Important: You are responsible for ensuring you have the appropriate licenses for any fonts uploaded to your account. Ensure you agree to comply with the font’s license agreement before uploading.
Before You Begin
Ensure you have administrative permissions to manage fonts.
If you do not have the required permissions, contact your workspace or organization administrator.
Upload any custom fonts before creating a font kit. See Creating Fonts in Knak for instructions.
To upload custom fonts, ensure your font files are unzipped and in a supported format (e.g., OTF, TTF, WOFF). Navigate to Admin → Fonts → Add New Font → Upload in Knak to upload your font files. Alternatively, you can share the font link and licensing details with Knak Support via a ticket, and they will upload the font to your account.
Assigning Fonts to Brands
Once a font is uploaded, follow these steps to assign it to a brand. Ensure you have administrative permissions to manage fonts. If you lack permissions, contact your workspace or organization Administrator for assistance.
Go to Admin > Brands > Fonts.
Click Create Font Kit.
Adjust the font kit.
Enter a name for your font kit.
Click the + icon. The font selection screen opens.
Select fonts by checking the boxes.
To add a font that is not in the list, click + Create Font. Follow the steps in Creating Fonts in Knak.
Check the box next to your new font.
Click Selected Fonts to review.
Click Save to confirm.
Optional: Use + Create Font to add a new font without leaving your font kit.
Define styles for: Header, Subhead, and Body.
Choose font, size, formatting, and color for each.
Click Save.
Assign the font kit to specific brands.
You can also select font kits from your brand settings page.
Select your brand’s default font, which assets will inherit when they are created.
Updating the brand’s default font will automatically update the inherited font for all newly created assets in that brand.
Using Font Kits in Your Assets
Fonts added to a brand do not automatically update existing assets. You must apply the font manually.
To update an existing asset:
Open the asset.
Click the text block you want to update.
Open the Text Style dropdown.
Select Header, Subhead, or Body that uses the new font.
The selected text updates immediately.
