Updated over a week ago

The Text design options in Divi let you customize the appearance of a module’s body content. These settings control font, alignment, spacing, and more, ensuring your Text is styled to fit your design.

Note: The text design options are shared across different text-based modules such as the Accordion, Audio, Blurb, Call to Action, and many more.

Where to Find the Text Options

  1. Open the Module Settings: Click the gear icon or the module itself to access the settings.

  2. Navigate to the Design Tab: Locate the Text option group.

Text Customization Settings

  1. Font: Choose a font for the Text from the dropdown menu or upload a custom font. By default, the site’s primary font is used.

  2. Font Weight: Choose the boldness of the font, with options ranging from light to extra-bold.

  3. Font Style: Choose stylistic enhancements to the Text, such as:

    • Italicized

    • Capitalized

    • Small Capitals

    • Underlined

    • Strike-through

  4. Text Alignment: Choose the Text alignment: left, center, right, or justify alignment.

  5. Text Color: Choose a color for the Text using your site’s palette or the color picker.

  6. Text Size: Choose the font size of the Text using the range slider or by entering a specific value.

  7. Letter Spacing: Control the space between letters by dragging the slider or inputting a value. Larger values create more separation between characters.

  8. Line Height: Choose the vertical spacing between lines of Text for better readability. Increase the value for more space between lines.

  9. Text Shadow: Choose a shadow of the text and customize its:

    • Direction: Set horizontal and vertical positioning.

    • Blur Strength: Adjust how soft or sharp the shadow appears.

    • Shadow Color: Choose a shadow color that complements the text.

Tips for Styling Text

  • Focus on Readability: Use font sizes and line heights that are easy to read, especially on mobile devices.

  • Complement Your Design: Match the text color and style to your site’s overall design for a cohesive look.

  • Use Shadows Sparingly: Subtle shadows can enhance readability, but overly strong effects can distract.

These options make it easy to create Text that’s visually appealing and functional, ensuring your content looks polished and professional.
