Notion is an incredibly powerful productivity app that lets you create beautiful, organized workspaces for notes, tasks, wikis and databases. But despite all its customizability, one area where Notion needs to improve is fonts.
The default Notion font leaves much to be desired. And while Notion allows you to change the font to Serif or a Mono font with just two clicks, let’s be honest – three fonts to choose from is pretty limiting.
But does this mean you’re stuck with ugly, boring fonts in Notion? Absolutely not!

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
