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.

  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.

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