Text styles

For Business Plan users, you can set text styles to be applied to your text in the Brand Library. Text styles are set variants for your text blocks to be applied without having to set the variant each time.

Text styles use justification, font face, font size and color.

When you have a text box selected on the canvas, select the "Default" dropdown in the text toolbar to see your available text styles. Select one from the dropdown to be applied to the text.
