How to Perfectly Set Up Typography & Fonts in Elementor

[@rinodeboer]

Since many people struggle with typography and custom fonts inside of Elementor I thought I would make a guide, because it can be quite confusing. I'm also tackling the px, rem, em and vw in this video and I'm giving you a guide on how to use fonts that scale automatically. I hope you like it!

[@danstevens1974]

Thanks Rino - another great tutorial! It works great for me until I look on a mobile phone - my Title 1 ends up looking way too small for some reason!?

[@rinodeboer]

Looking at the comments I now see that I wasn't clear about using the H1-H6 for blogposts. So don't get me wrong: I use the H1-H6 for blogposts to give it structure, and you can even change their sizes in the Typography section in the Site Settings, and you should also use them to give normal pages structure. But I just don't use them for styling purposed on non blogpost pages.

[@danstevens1974]

@@rinodeboer Hi Rino. Thanks for your reply. I figured out what was happing. Some default settings in Elementor were already set for tablet and mobile so once I cleared those settings out everything is perfect! Thanks again. Dan.

[@Mkfinancialsca]

@@danstevens1974 hi daniel, can you please tell what those settings were? I am using rino's font sized, but it looks way to big on mobile and tablet mode. It was perfect before but suddenly it changed to something comepletly different

[@danstevens1974]

@@Mkfinancialsca Hi Manik - yes i noticed some of the headings were too big on mobile also. You can always change the clamp code to your preference. A bit of trial and error involved! cheers.

About the 3 years: I feel you, after a year of using the manual way of defining fonts and duplicating it, with px as the default, last week I invested a whole day on learning how to use the GS in combination with REM the proper way. One day later your video went online. Would have saved a lot of time. On the other hand I'm happy about the free confirmation... :'] PS: The Clamp Generator is genius.

[@AW-dr2jt]

Finally I've found a good explanation of how to define typography and what is what in Elementor. A very big thank you!

Hey Rino, thank you for this nice video! I definitely understood the differences in the Global Fonts and Typography. One strange thing I discovered is that my 'clamp' code would not work, unless, I included the ';' semi-column at the end!!! Weird right?? 😌

[@rinodeboer]

That's definitely weird, but good that you found that. And thank you for the compliment 🙏

[@andonisr]

I'm now finding out that, although the code works live when I input it under the 'pencil' icon/option, (by live I mean at the current set up Elementor offers with examples so you can see it as you change it), when I scale down to mobile, I don't see the changes taking effect. I've disabled the Global fonts at Elementor's settings of course too. The fonts I changed with the clamp code just remain the same when seeing the page and the line height doesn't work no matter how many REM's I put. Perplexed..!!!@@rinodeboer

[@misap123]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD, Thank you so much. I was trying to figure out what the issue was for the past hour :D

[@seemsas]

Loading fonts from Google also causes an issue with GDPR compliance! Userdata are sent to Google before the user has the ability to consent or deny. For this reason you should prevent loading from Google and host the fonts on your server. At least in Germany there are many dissuations which want penalty payments from site owners.

[@rinodeboer]

Ahh oke! You are so right. I forgot to mention that. Thank you for sharing.

[@ClubMusicLive]

Digital fascism, Germany always leading in directions no one needs or cares about.

[@werbekueche]

Thank you very much Rino. Once again a very valuable video from you. Thank you for sharing your insights with the community. I have also dealt with this topic extensively. Your video shows me that I had the same thoughts as you and I already am well positioned with my projects. I have already worked with REM Font Sizes and created a scaling table (but I like yours even better, especially the new feature that now covers all responsive views!) I also didn't know what I needed the typography section for (currently I only set the link colour there). Concerning the global font uploads, there is another important reason besides pagespeed to host the fonts yourself. As a web designer in Germany, I always have to pay attention to the DSGVO, which is very strict here. A few months ago, there was a veritable wave of warnings from pseudo-lawyers who found a loophole with externally hosted Google Fonts. The use of the US Google servers was interpreted as a data protection violation. Maybe this is also an issue in other countries? Finally, thanks again for your efforts and keep up the good work! I look forward to every new video from you! Many greetings from the Black Forest, Jennifer

Hey Rino, we can even change the default html font size to 62.5% so that the base font size becomes 10px ( 1rem). Body font becomes 1.6rem. so its easier to do calculations as now just have to divide by 10 to get the rem value from px. Eg 52 px becomes 5.2rem

[@DevPalliSri]

I thought he will be explaining in this video how to do you mentioned point. But disappointed. May be in custom Css of the Theme, we can keep html{font-size:62.5%} and would work all over website.

[@juleshumboldt7680]

Hi, I am wondering about why you are setting max width 1920px 14:50 instead of 1120px (your prefered default), especially if a whole page is "boxed". Some stats say that even in 1st world countries there are 360px up to 9% on mobile devices. Here I am with you. So my conclusion would be a range from 360 to 1120. Can you give your considerations for a best practice viewport width range?

[@Life-and-lessons-AR]

Good question

[@StreamlineRoofingTx]

why would the max size matter? As long as it scaled down to 360?

[@juleshumboldt7680]

@@StreamlineRoofingTx clamp defines a range. So there have to be two limits. Min and Max. Look what happens to your site , if you set a ridiculous max like 5rem for 1920 or for 1200 for example.

[@StreamlineRoofingTx]

@@juleshumboldt7680 by no means am i an expert, so i might just not understand, but i have mine set for 5rem at 1920, but i dont have my content boxed, its all full width, so maybe thats why its ok?

[@jrothra]

Using the Heading element, you can select a global font and thus have an H4 at the size of an H1. However, what would be the impact of headings used within a text element (e.g., in a blog post)? In my tests, the H- sizes use whatever is default in the theme.

[@rinodeboer]

Within the blogpost content box in Wordpress you are unfortunately limited by just using the styles from the H1-H6. Since you cannot separate the styling from the H tag in the WP content editor.

Hey Rino , Another clear and concise explanation. This issue has been bugging me ever since I started using Elementor a couple of years ago. I knew there had to be a better way but I've been too busy (Lazy?) to look for one. Now I'm pleased I didn't as you've explained not only the how to but also the why. Thank you for sharing your hard work & knowledge so readily. I'm really looking forward to you new Elementor Pro course.

[@PWSandyTube]

Couldnt agree more.. this is exactly what I do with my elementor font system when I use Hello theme 😄. Alternatively you can use theme that have font system like GeneratePress, Neve, Kadence or Astra than disable the default font/color, I found this easier to setup than using default elementor system. Btw, great content as always Rino!!!

[@OrigThriftyCarnivore]

Very interesting approach. Personally I go with REM = 18px. Also, in some countries (like USA) you have to consider ADA Accessibility Standards, especially for font-size and color contrast.

[@Artifexon]

Great video... Two things, it would have been nice if you could have explained how to go about doing our own clamping a little more (like what values do I put in?). Also, I recommend 24px spacing for better readability and you should also explain EM for people to use to set their line height.

[@MaxLaingDMP]

Rino - I have followed you for a loooooong time now and frankly your efforts are great! HOWEVER, whatever you are doing in your post filming / editing is ending up with you jumping around a bit. VERY difficult to follow. I am sure there are many that may disagree with what I am saying here, but there are those of us that are a bit slower than others and need to be cradled a bit more into where all of these settings are. I suppose I need to buy into your new course. As soon as I have the dollars, I will be doing so. I am desperately trying to set up something you sort of quickly mentioned in at least one of your videos - and that is setting up sort of a "master file" that can be uploaded for any new Elementor sites. Getting all of this stuff out of the way out of the gate would save an amazing amount of time but, perhaps more importantly, since modifying0 all of the initial site settings is not something that is always being thought of, it would help to ensure that something is not being missed and/or forgetting about in the first place! An issue I seem to have more and more as Elementor becomes more powerful. Anyway, thanks for doing all that you do. I remain a huge fan of just about all of your efforts, and will become a client of yours soon as I will be buying into your course. For now, though, if you have anything already online that could offer a few hints as to how to where the initial global settings are hiding and where to actually apply the font instructions you have included here:... livingwithpixels.com/resources/font-sizes/ ...you would be even more appreciated (grin). Sincerely and without hesitation, Max

[@kitewebsites]

Hey Rino, another valuable video from you. Thanks a lot. I also work with Elementor for most of my clients (98%?) and have been messing around with fonts, especially in making them responsive. This saves a lot of work and improves consistency over the whole website. Bedankt!

[@mreclecticguy]

Really appreciate this video, especially the "clamp" solution to scaling. I knew the importance of using h tags properly (I was taught to treat them as you would when writing an outline because that's how search engines look at them), so your system of setting their appearance, and not locking in their styling, makes much more sense. The first time I played with getting the global settings setup it turned into a convoluted mess. As I'm just started to rebuild a site from the ground up; this information is going to help me a lot. Thank you.

Once again, a very helpful video. Thank you. Quick newbie question. Should I also use rem for line height and spacing? In particular, when using clamp? Thanks.

[@rinodeboer]

I recommend using % for line height since it scales when the font becomes bigger. I use clamp for fonts and padding, that’s it

[@martinjudd8205]

​@@rinodeboerthank you very helpful. When you say Clamp for Padding is that for all Positioning eg. Spacing of adjacent Containers, Widgets etc or just Padding associated with Text Widgets eg. Headings, CTA etc. Sorry for the dumb question:/

[@rinodeboer]

With padding I mean the padding top and bottom you use on all your background containers, so that it automatically becomes smaller on tablet and mobile. And sometimes I also use it on the inside of containers on all sides.

[@borisnieminen677]

Thanks Rino, excellent tutorial. One of the things that I have a hard time understanding in the Elementor settings options, in your video ~7:02 where the option is "Checking this box will disable Elementor's Default Fonts....." ok, I think I got that...maybe... But then it states: ...."and make Elementor inherit the fonts from your theme..." So currently I am using OceanWP theme and if I interpret that setting, "make Elementor inherit the fonts from your theme", by checking that box, my settings set in the OCeanWP customizer should be controlling the fonts, right? But if I want to use Elementor Site Setting, Global fonts, I should still leave it checked? If I don't want my theme involved shouldn't I uncheck it?

@@janstocke2231 Same. Bottom line the outputs do work well. I appreciate his worksheet and approach but without the viewport min/max settings I am left in the dark in how to adjust accordingly. For me I'll probably go with a 360 min and 1000 or 1120 max. I have seen it done a bunch of ways. I just depends on how much we want the max to grow as the screen gets wider and for me I have no interest in worrying about optimizing for a 42 inch wide screen. Good luck!!

Good point, I will remember to include that in my course then. But for a baseline for headings 120/130% and for body fonts 180-200%. Using % is nice because you can also do that in Figma and they scale according to the size of the font. But make sure to select the custom unit selector (the little pencil icon) to put in % values.

[@daboz187]

[@gotta-date-with-hate]

By no means am I am an expert but my own research I read line spacing at 130 to 150 percent the font size (i.e font size x150%= line height) is ideal for readability, but sometimes less or more is acceptable depending on your design...But for body text I find 130 to 150 works for me...

You can make the REM values less confusing by slightly adapting the approach using the "site settings > custom CSS" to set the following: html { font-size: 62.5%; // Sets the default font-size to 10px } body { font-size: 1.6rem; // Sets the default font-size _back_ to 16px but using REM } What this will then allow you to do is use REM values like so: 1.6rem = 16px 1.8rem = 18px 2rem = 20px 2.4rem = 24px For me this is so much easier to work with because the "real" numbers are not obscured; I can still easily see what the standard font size is in pixel value (so getting from design to code is simpler), and there is no need to use any calculations to work out what the font size should be in REM. All of the benefits of using REM are still in place (accessible resizing etc). @livingwithpixels - I'll definitely try the approach of not setting the primary, secondary and accents, while turning off the elementor font styles

Great Video! does something also need to be done to the line height as well? When I add the custom font types, for some reason my style sheet does not reflect the different sizes, however when using them on the site, the fonts are adjusted according with exception of the line height which remains way too large ?

Amazing technique. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks, mate.

That is amazing tutorial video and really makes me understand fonts and typography.

[@aminfateminia8643]

Well done! it was exactly what I've searched for...

[@88ikky]

Hi. Can you provide us with the line-heights as well?

[@lkmaggs]

Wow, this makes so much sense! Gonna try this with my next build!

[@earlytoriseab]

Like it and I am updating my staging server. However... your instructions "only" cover when you use the heading elements. I use blog posts and the text editor, and there there I need to change the styling of the actual H1-H6, and not rely on custom fonts, right?

[@johnwhite3318]

Thanks for sharing! Will " Clamp" do the heavy lifting and set all font sizes?

[@jackyesmith1694]

This is a great tool Rino! I have just put it to good use and want to make one comment, the semi-colon after the closing parenthesis is necessary when using the CSS clamp in Elementor global fonts. Thanks again for making my life easier!

[@sassaricodesign9717]

Excellent video, Rino! This feature is very interesting. What I was in doubt was how to change the line height. I thought it was too big, especially on a cell phone. How do I change it? Congratulations for the channel, it is amazing!

Hello! Do you go deeper in font settings in your Elementor Pro course ?( which I have bought and just started) because I am still real confused after this lesson, maybe i will have to watch it again. For example, if i would change the base font for REM (16 px) in Elementor, how could I do that? And again, it wolud be possible to have your spreadsheet as you showed in the video? I mean the Excel Sheet. Thank you !

[@jarvindesign-svk]

Hi Rino, What about to use clamp on html root? Example: html { font-size: clamp(1rem, 0.9773rem + 0.1136vw, 1.25rem) }. 16px mobile and 18px full HD monitor and 20px 4k monitor With this option you have responsive all items, fonts, spacing atc.. And one more thing. With container size clamp(16rem, 90vw, 70rem) you have responsive container on all devices without use paddings

Nice Video. As someone mentioned already it is important to link custom titels with the h1 to h6 in order to control the text editor for blogposts. And just one thought about setting EVERYTHING to REM: I would say it's better to keep the big heading in pixels, because especially on mobile you don't want to let users mess around with your perfectly set headings. But setting the bodytext to EM or REM is crucial for barrier-free design. A Video about setting up custom colors would also be nice. Cheers

[@rinodeboer]

Thank you for your input. This video was more focussed on normal websites and not blogposts, but you are right. Not really sure about your big heading comment because for people that have their browser settings differently you still want to keep the balance between big and small, because otherwise I think the text hierarchy won't be clear anymore, making it harder to read the website. If you have other arguments then please let me know. Also, what would you like to know about custom colors? What do you struggle with? What colors to choose? Or something Elementor specific?

You're really good at this. Very useful. Thank you so much.
