Mailcamp lets you change the font styling inside the email editor, but email clients do not all render fonts the same way. For the most reliable results, use the font choices available in the editor and prefer web-safe fonts for important content.
What Mailcamp supports in practice
- In the classic editor, you can choose fonts from the built-in font picker.
- Mailcamp includes common options such as Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, and Verdana.
- These fonts are safer for email because they are more widely supported across inbox providers and devices.
How to change fonts in Mailcamp
- Open your campaign and go to the Content step.
- Choose the editor you want to use, such as the classic editor.
- Select the text you want to style.
- Use the toolbar font dropdown to choose a different font family.
- Adjust font size and formatting as needed, then save your changes.
Important note about custom fonts
- Even if a custom or less common font is selected in the editor, some email clients may ignore it and fall back to a default font.
- Because of that, Mailcamp content should not rely on a single custom font for readability or branding-critical text.
- If you want consistent rendering, choose a web-safe font stack for the main body of the email.
Best practice for email typography
- Use clean, readable fonts for headings and body copy.
- Keep font choices simple and consistent across the email.
- Test the campaign in a few inboxes before sending widely.
- If your design depends on a very specific typeface, consider using it sparingly and make sure the email still looks good when a fallback font is used.
Recommended approach
- For broad compatibility, start with fonts like Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, or Verdana.
- Use Mailcamp's preview and test email flow to confirm the text still looks right in common inboxes.
If your goal is brand consistency, the safest approach is to combine a simple email-safe font choice with strong spacing, hierarchy, and color rather than depending on a custom font that some recipients may never see.
