Canva is one of those holy grail apps every content creator, blogger or solopreneur should have. It’s an incredibly easy graphic design tool that can be used by anyone, even if you don’t have a creative bone in your body. Canva makes it easier for you to create branded graphics to share with your audience.
When creating your branded graphics, chances are you have two or three branded fonts you use. Canva has a wide selection of fonts to choose from. However, if you do find that Canva doesn’t have a specific font you’re looking for or you’ve purchased custom fonts, you can easily upload your custom fonts in Canva too!
