Canva has its own font library, and on paid plans you can upload font files. Either route can give you Old English lettering.

## Step by step

1. **Search Canva's fonts**: Select a text box, open the font menu and search for names like UnifrakturMaguntia, Pirata One or Grenze Gotisch. Canva's library changes over time, so availability can vary.
2. **Upload a font if needed**: With Canva Pro or Teams, download a font from our Old English fonts page, then upload the .ttf file through the Brand Kit's font upload option.
3. **Apply and adjust**: Pick the font, then increase letter spacing slightly. Blackletter benefits from a little extra room on social graphics.

## Good to know

- Free Canva accounts can't upload fonts. If the font you want isn't in the library, use a similar one that is, or create the text as a transparent PNG with our text to image tool and upload that as an image.
- All fonts in our directory use the SIL Open Font License, so they're allowed in designs you sell.
