The theme comes with two preset default Google Fonts: Open Sans and Roboto. This ensures out of the box functionality and cross-browser visual consistency. The fonts usage is spread on various elements like the menu, post titles, blocks title, etc. For the elements which are not defined we added a general font family on the body and paragraph(p) tags: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
The icons and other small design elements (ex. social icons, menu arrows, etc.) are included in the “newspaper” font which is located in the …/Newspaper/images/icons folder.
The easiest method to identify what font is used on a specific element is to use the browser inspector. You can find a guide here.
tagDiv Composer/ tagDiv Cloud Library fonts:
- Using the elements from the tagDiv Composer page builder and/or tagDiv Cloud Library templates, you will find the font settings directly in the settings for each element in particular.
- The font settings are different for each element due to its particular specifications.
- The font options can be found under the Style tab within the tagDiv Composer.
- You can change fonts for the header, categories, load more button, article titles, article meta info, excerpts and many, many more.
- Check the Style tab and font settings for each particular element you add using the tagDiv Composer Page Builder.

From the Website Manager, you can see the analysis of all the fonts currently in use on the page or pre-designed template you’re currently editing. You can also dynamically change specific fonts on elements to increase the consistency.
