# Which fonts can I use in my Scribe email signature?

> Scribe supports 11 web-safe fonts that render consistently across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and every major email client used on desktop and mobile.

Scribe supports 11 web-safe fonts that are guaranteed to [display correctly across all major email clients](/en/are-scribe-email-signatures-compatible-with-all-email-clients).

## Why not custom or Google fonts?

Email clients don't work like web browsers. Browsers can load and render any font from the web, but email clients can't. Most email clients rely on a limited set of pre-installed fonts, and when they encounter a font they don't support, they silently replace it with a default system font.

This means a [signature designed](/en/editor/editor-overview) with a custom font might look exactly as intended in Gmail on Chrome, but completely different in Outlook on Windows, or on a recipient's mobile device. The sender never sees the difference, but the recipient does.

To ensure your signatures look consistent for every recipient, on every device, Scribe uses web-safe fonts only. These are fonts that are pre-installed on virtually all operating systems and supported by all email clients.

## Available fonts

* Helvetica
* Arial
* Arial Black
* Arial Narrow
* Tahoma
* Georgia
* Times
* Garamond
* Verdana
* Lucida
* Trebuchet

<Tip>
  For a clean, modern look, **Helvetica** and **Arial** are the most popular choices. They're highly readable at small sizes and render consistently everywhere. **Georgia** is a great option if you prefer a serif font.
