Overview of the FONTPLUS service discontinuation
Due to the end of our contract with Monotype, the provider of the "FONTPLUS" fonts offered in Studio.Design, FONTPLUS will no longer be available as of April 7, 2026.
Starting April 8, 2026, FONTPLUS fonts set in Studio.Design will no longer be delivered, and will be replaced by system fonts and similar fallbacks. This may affect the appearance and layout of your site.
If you're currently using "FONTPLUS" fonts, we recommend switching to another font by April 7, 2026.
You can find the list of fonts being discontinued below.
Checking your FONTPLUS font usage
You can check FONTPLUS font usage by reviewing the font settings for each text box. Follow the steps below to check which fonts are in use.
In the right panel, open the [Text] tab. If the panel is closed, open the right panel.
Under [Typography], click the [Font] input field.
In the [Font Family] list, click the icon
next to the font name.
Compare the font name shown in the [Font] input field with the list of fonts being discontinued to see whether any FONTPLUS fonts are in use.
For more on managing and reviewing fonts used across your entire site, see this article:
Replacing FONTPLUS with another font
You can replace FONTPLUS fonts either manually, one font at a time, or by using the bulk font replacement feature.
Option 1. Replace fonts manually
When you change the settings for a font family, all text using that font family will be updated at once.
In the right panel, open the [Text] tab. If the panel is closed, open the right panel.
Under [Typography], click the [Font] input field.
Click the icon
next to the font family label.
In the [Font] input field, click the arrow icon [Replace font] next to the base typeface (font) name.
Refer to the replacement font list to choose a font, then select the font you want to switch to.
Click [Usage] at the bottom of the font settings panel to confirm that the replacement was applied correctly.
To reflect the changes on your published site, you'll need to update the site.
For more details on font settings and replacement, see this article:
Option 2. Replace fonts using the bulk font replacement feature
With the bulk font replacement feature, you can change the fonts and subfonts already set in your project to other fonts all at once.
Open the Design Editor.
If there's any text in your site that uses a FONTPLUS font slated for discontinuation, a popup for bulk font replacement will appear.
In the popup list, choose a replacement font for each affected font, then click [Replace all].
Clicking [Later] will close the popup. To resume bulk replacement later, click [Replace fonts] in the alert message at the top of the Design Editor.
Things to keep in mind for projects using FONTPLUS
If you restore a previous version from the version history in a project that uses FONTPLUS, the "FONTPLUS" font settings will be restored as well. From April 8, 2026 onward, the affected text will be displayed using a fallback system font instead.
Please keep this in mind when restoring a site after replacing FONTPLUS fonts with other fonts.

Q. Can the service end date be extended?
A. We held many discussions with Monotype in hopes of continuing to offer the service, but after weighing the long-term stability and sustainability of the service, we made the difficult decision to end the contract.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes our users.
We'll continue to prioritize minimizing the impact as much as possible.
