Font size affects how your Notion pages look and how easy they are to read. When the text is small, it slows you down; when it’s right, your pages look clear and organized.
If you’re adjusting Notion text size for a portfolio, shared page, or workspace, setting the right font size in Notion improves readability and layout. It also makes your content easier to scan and edit.
This guide explains how to change font size in Notion, how to make text bigger or smaller, and the quickest ways to adjust fonts for better readability and structure.
How to Change Font in Notion (Default Notion)
Notion gives you three basic font styles to work with. They’re simple, clean, and reliable, but also very limited if you’re trying to shape a page that feels truly yours.
To switch your font inside any Notion page:
Open the page
Click the ••• menu at the top-right
Choose Default, Serif, or Mono
That’s all you get. No custom font uploads, no full control over typography, and no design variations across different pages.
This is fine if you only need a basic workspace. But if you’re building something more polished—like a portfolio, a resume, or a public page—these three options often feel restrictive.
How to Change the Font in Notion (All Built-in Methods)
Notion doesn’t include a regular font size selector, but you can adjust size in a few built-in ways.
1. Use the “Small Text” Toggle
Inside the same ••• page menu, turn Small text on or off. It shrinks or restores the default text size for the entire page.
2. Use Headings to Scale Text
You can make sections appear larger by switching a text block to:
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
These aren’t custom sizes, but heading levels give you a simple way to create hierarchy and increase visual weight.
3. Limitations & tips
These size changes apply per page; you’ll need to adjust each page individually if you want a consistent size across pages.
There’s no native control to set a custom size, such as “14 pt” or “18 pt” for all body text. Many users have asked for it.
How to Make Notion Fonts Bigger (Keyboard Shortcuts)
If you want to quickly make all text and other UI elements larger, you can use Zoom shortcuts. This affects the whole page layout, not just font size.
On Windows/Linux: Press Ctrl + + to zoom in, Ctrl + to zoom out.
On Mac: Press Cmd + + to zoom in, Cmd + to zoom out.
The browser works the same way if you’re using Notion web.
How to Change Notion Font Size on Mobile
The Notion mobile app doesn’t offer any font-size controls.
However, you can change size via your phone settings:
iPhone / iOS
Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size
Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text
Settings → Accessibility → Zoom
Android
Settings → Display → Font Size
Settings → Accessibility → Magnification
Notion inherits these system-wide scaling settings.
How to Change Font Size in the Notion Website
Your Notion site should look the way you want it to, but the default fonts make that difficult. With only three styles, you can’t match your brand or design a page that truly stands out.
Bullet.so removes those limits. Even on the free version, you get access to a wide selection of modern web fonts and can adjust sizes for different blocks across your site. The changes apply instantly, with no coding or extra setup inside Notion.
Beyond typography, Bullet.so also lets you refine key design elements: backgrounds, spacing, navigation, and overall layout, so your Notion website feels clean and professional.
And when you turn on dark mode, your fonts update automatically. It’s a simple way to give your Notion site full design control without upgrading tools or learning anything new.
You can format text by selecting it and choosing bold, italic, underline, color, or turning it into headings, lists, quotes, or callouts from the toolbar or slash commands.
How can I change the style of my font in Notion?
Open the ••• menu at the top-right of your page and choose one of Notion’s three font styles: Default, Serif, or Mono.
How do I change the font in a Notion formula block?
You can’t change the font style inside a formula block. Notion formulas always use the default mono-style formatting.
