How to QUICK CHANGE FONTS Illustrator Tutorial

Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll walk through the quick and simple process of changing fonts in Adobe Illustrator. If you have a design project, like a carousel layout, with a specific font you want to swap out, this method will save you time and effort.

Step-by-Step Guide to Change Fonts

1. Access Your Document: Start by opening your Illustrator project that contains the text you want to modify. In this example, the text is set to "Bebas Neue" across various artboards.

2. Select Your Text: Click on the text object or any instance of the font that you wish to change.

3. Open the Find Font Option:

   • Navigate to the top menu and click on Type.
   • From the dropdown, select Find Font. This will open a dialog box.

4. Identify Current Fonts: In the dialog box, you'll notice the font currently in use is listed (in our case, "Bebas Neue Bold"). This feature helps in quickly identifying all instances of the font in your document.

5. Highlight Instances: Click on Find Text in the dialog box. This will highlight all areas in the document where "Bebas Neue" is used, making it easy to see what needs to be changed.

6. Change the Font:

   • At the bottom of the dialog box, make sure the dropdown menu is set to System. This allows you to browse through all the fonts installed on your computer.
   • Locate the font you want to use instead (for instance, "Sophia Serif Irregular"). Simply select it, which will highlight the font in blue.

7. Apply the Change: Click on Change All. Once you do this, all instances of "Bebas Neue Bold" across your document will be replaced with your selected font.

8. Adjust Text Size: Note that changing fonts may alter the text size. Use the selection tool and the eyedropper tool (press I) to quickly match and resize your text objects as needed. Select a resized title, and simply click on other text pieces to apply the same size adjustments.

9. Finalize Your Design: Make any additional adjustments required for your design to ensure everything looks cohesive.

This method of replacing fonts is the most efficient way to update your typography in Adobe Illustrator, and it avoids the tedious process of changing fonts manually for each text box.
