Custom fonts

Your captions, in your own typeface.

If your channel already has a font, your Shorts should use it. Upload the font file once and it shows up under My fonts in every caption style, next to the built-in library.

  • Upload TTF or OTF files
  • On Starter and Pro
  • Built-in library to start with
  • Cyrillic-capable built-in families

Upload font

Static TTF or OTF (non-variable)

By uploading a font, you confirm its license allows use in your videos.

Same font as the channel

Brand fonts without a workaround

Without your own font, the choice is a near match or exporting captions somewhere else. Uploading the file keeps the whole job in HypeNest.

Upload once, use everywhere
An uploaded font appears in the font picker of every caption style, so each new Short can use it without another upload.
A built-in library too
Caption-ready fonts ship with the app, including families that cover Cyrillic, so you have options before you upload anything.
On Starter and Pro
Font uploads are part of the Starter and Pro plans. Every plan can use the built-in library.
Your font, your license
When you upload a font, you confirm that its license allows use in your videos. Making sure of that stays with you.
