Brand Fonts

Control which fonts are available for your brands by creating and managing font kits. Font kits help keep your branding consistent across every asset.

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.

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.

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:

  1. Open the asset.

  2. Click the text block you want to update.

  3. Open the Text Style dropdown.

  4. Select Header, Subhead, or Body that uses the new font.

The selected text updates immediately.
