Multiple Fonts in One Heading Line

What You'll Create

Mixed-font headlines where part of your heading uses a decorative accent font while the rest stays in your primary heading font. Simply italicize the words you want styled differently, and they automatically switch to your site's meta/accent font.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace headings use a single font throughout. If you want that editorial look where certain words appear in a script or accent font (like "Create beautiful websites"), you'd normally need to break up the heading into multiple text blocks or use complex workarounds.

Perfect For

Editorial headlines with script accents, Brand taglines with mixed typography, Decorative section titles, About page name treatments, Service page headers

What Makes This Different

This technique uses your existing Squarespace fonts—no new fonts to load. It targets italicized text within headings and swaps the font to your site's meta/miscellaneous font. Just italicize the words you want accented in any H1, H2, or H3, and they automatically display in your accent font. The styling is instant and works anywhere you use headings.
