Due to changes in font licensing, we are no longer able to offer certain fonts.
Our design and development teams have worked in collaboration with our premium font provider to mimic all retired fonts with new ones, which replicate the styling you’ve come to love on your Format site.
As such, you shouldn’t see a significant difference in the look and layout of your site.
Fonts from the Benton Sans and Bureau Grot families
Existing websites that have been using fonts from the Benton Sans or Bureau Grot families will be able to continue using these on their website for the time being.
If you change these fonts through the Design > Typography area to a different font, or switch to a different theme, it will not be possible to revert or return to re-select and use fonts from the Benton Sans family.
Benton Sans > Salvo Sans family
For Benton Sans, we recommend replacement fonts from the Slavo Sans family.
- Search for 'benton'
- The Benton Sans family will appear here
- Search for 'salvo'
- The Salvo Sans family of available fonts will appear here
Bureau Grot > Parry Grotesque
For Bureau Grot, we recommend replacement fonts from the Parry Grotesque family.
- Search for 'bureau'
- The Bureau Grot family will appear here
- Search for 'parry'
- The Parry Grotesque (and Parry) families of available fonts will appear here
We also introduced Parry Light and Parry Bold which are serif fonts from the same family as Parry Grotesque. If this pairing of fonts is used together on your website it should provide a balanced typographic treatment. Italic styling can be applied to most fonts.
A range of new fonts was also added in May 2024, please view this help article on New fonts available
