Block Styles (Typography)

Block Styles let you define the typography of your whole project in one place. Instead of formatting each paragraph by hand, you configure how every paragraph, heading, or blockquote should look — and every block of that type updates instantly, across all manuscripts in the project.

  • Block styles are purely visual — they change how your text is displayed (and exported), not the text itself.
  • You configure one style per block type: paragraph, headings H1–H4, blockquote, lists, tables, and more.
  • Any manual formatting you apply to specific words (a bold phrase, a different font on one line) always wins over the template style.
  1. Open the Block Style sidebar from the editor.
  2. Pick a block type (e.g. Paragraph or Heading 1).
  3. Adjust its properties. Changes apply live to everything in the project.

Text blocks (paragraph, H1–H4):

  • Font family, font size, line height, letter spacing
  • Text alignment and paragraph spacing
  • Margin before and after
  • Headings additionally: bold, italic, underline, and borders

Container blocks (blockquote, lists, tables, media, code blocks):

  • Margin before and after

If you’ve hand-formatted text and want to return to the template look:

  • Apply to all — a button in the Block Style sidebar that clears individual overrides for that block type across the project.
  • Re-apply style — available per block in the drag-handle menu, resets just that block.

If your Heading style is bold but you want one specific heading not bold, just select it and toggle bold off — the editor records that as a “not bold here” override on top of the template. The same works for italic and underline.

Your block styles are fully applied on PDF export, including custom fonts — what you see in the editor is what your readers get.
