Typography and Text Styling

Consistent typography creates hierarchy and improves readability across your reports. Power UI lets you define text styles once and apply them everywhere.

Font Selection Best Practices

• Stick to System Fonts: Use Segoe UI, Arial, or Helvetica for maximum compatibility
• Limit Font Families: Use maximum 2 font families (one for headers, one for body)
• Maintain Hierarchy: Use size and weight to create clear visual hierarchy
• Consider Context: Smaller fonts for dense dashboards, larger for presentations

Advanced Visual Customization

Power UI goes beyond basic styling to offer granular control over every visual type in Power BI. Create themes that handle edge cases and special requirements.
