Handy 4: Typography

Like other Shopify themes, the Handy theme will include typography settings within the Theme Editor (customize) under Theme Settings > Typography. These settings will apply theme wide to your body text, headings, sub-headings etc.

In addition the those, the Handy theme also includes a couple of per section & theme setting part typography settings. This means that in some of Handy’s sections and features, you can update the typography for that specific area instead of the default typography settings getting applied.
