Complete Guide to Text Styling

Master all text formatting options in Templated.

Basic Formatting

Font Selection

Use any Google Font or upload custom fonts:

{
  "title": {
    "text": "Hello",
    "font_family": "Poppins"
  }
}

Popular Google Fonts: Roboto, Open Sans, Lato, Montserrat, Poppins, Inter

Text Alignment

{
  "title": {
    "horizontal_align": "center",
    "vertical_align": "center"
  }
}

Options: left, center, right (horizontal) and top, center, bottom (vertical)

Spacing

• letter_spacing — Space between letters ("2px", "-1px")
• line_height — Space between lines ("1.5", "24px")

Text Effects

Text Stroke (Outline)

{
  "title": {
    "text_stroke_width": 2,
    "text_stroke_color": "#000000"
  }
}

Text Highlight

{
  "title": {
    "text_highlight_color": "#FFFF00"
  }
}

Autofit

Automatically scale text to fit the bounding box:

{
  "title": {
    "text": "Very long text that needs to fit",
    "autofit": "width"
  }
}

Secondary Color Formatting

Use *asterisks* to apply secondary styling:

{
  "title": {
    "text": "Hello *World*",
    "color": "#000000",
    "color_2": "#FF0000",
    "font_family_2": "Georgia"
  }
}

Result: "Hello" in black, "World" in red Georgia font.

Background

{
  "title": {
    "background": "#EEEEEE",
    "padding_x": 10,
    "padding_y": 5
  }
}
