Typography

Control fonts and text styling throughout your Power BI reports.

Overview

Typography plays a crucial role in report readability and professional appearance. Power UI provides comprehensive control over fonts, sizes, weights, and spacing across all text elements in your theme. From titles and labels to data values and tooltips, every text element can be precisely styled.

The platform supports both system fonts and custom web fonts, allowing you to maintain brand consistency or optimize for readability. Font settings cascade intelligently through your theme, so you can set defaults once and override only where needed.

Font Selection

Choose from a curated selection of professional fonts optimized for data visualization, or specify custom fonts that match your brand guidelines. The font picker shows live previews with your actual data, making it easy to evaluate readability at different sizes and weights.

Power UI automatically handles font fallbacks to ensure your reports display correctly even when custom fonts aren't available. The system suggests appropriate fallback chains based on your primary font choice, maintaining visual consistency across different environments.

Text Hierarchy

Establish clear visual hierarchy with systematic sizing and weight adjustments. Power UI helps you create consistent relationships between titles, subtitles, body text, and data labels. The platform includes pre-configured typography scales based on design best practices, which you can customize to your needs.

Advanced options let you control line height, letter spacing, and text alignment for optimal readability. Different settings can be applied to different visual types, allowing you to optimize text for various contexts - dense tables might use tighter spacing while card visuals benefit from more generous typography.
