However, in addition to these three, there are 4 more fonts you can use in eny text blocks (including headings, callouts, etc.):

The words “Another font” in four extra fonts: serif, bold serif, sans serif and monospace

Another cool feature is that you can dramatically change font size from tiny to huge:

“Tiny Font Size” in very small text next to “Huge Font Size” in very large text

How to use custom fonts in Notion?

  1. Type the text you want to change
  2. Select it and turn it into an equation
  3. Surround the text with curly braces
  4. To change the font, type one of the commands at the beginning: \textrm, \textbf, \textsf, \texttt

You should end up with something like this

\textsf {Another font}

Here you can see how all the four fonts look like:

The four font commands, each shown in its own font: textrm, textbf, textsf and texttt

How to change font size

To change the font size, type one of the commands:

  • \tiny
  • \scriptsize
  • \footnotesize
  • \small
  • \normalsize
  • \large
  • \Large
  • \LARGE
  • \huge
  • \Huge
Samples of all ten font sizes from tiny to Huge, each labelled with its command name

You can change both the font itself and its size at the same time. Then the size command should come first:

\LARGE \textbf {Aother font, aother size...}

How to combine custom font, size, text color, and background color?

To use custom fonts, text size, color and background color in one block, you must follow the order.

  1. Size
  2. Text color
  3. Text background color
  4. Font + text content, both surrounded with curly brackets
\Huge \color{blue} \colorbox{D30000} {\textsf {Completely new text}}
