Feeling totally overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the right font pairings for your social media graphics, website or sales page?
You’re not alone! Selecting your brand fonts can be a very daunting process.
And before you know it, you’re spending hours in search of the dream font pairings that perfectly embody your brand’s unique message & style.
Yep, I’ve been there! But that’s unfortunately a lot of wasted time that could be used on things that will move the needle in your online business (like, you know— making money).
That’s why I wanted to create this quick & handy list of all my favorite serif fonts available in Canva that should be a great starting point for your designs.
Let’s get to it!
Try Canva Pro free for 30 Days
It’s important to note that even though I’ve provided a list of Canva free fonts, the free options are more limited compared to the Canva Pro plan. This is why I always recommend investing in the Canva Pro plan if you plan on batch creating marketing graphics for your blog, social media account or sales pages.
Canva Pro is incredibly affordable and you get unlimited access to premium stock photos, graphics, the ability to upload custom fonts to your brand kit and other design features. The subscription cost is truly such a small price to pay for all that you get in return!
And if you click that little image below, you can take Canva Pro for a spin, completely free for 30 days!

Best Serif Fonts in Canva
Please note that this is not a complete list of all the serif fonts available in Canva.
You are of course more than welcome to select brand fonts at your own discretion— these are just my own personal recommendations based on what designs, layouts and graphics I’ve seen perform best for my audience.
When it comes to selecting a Serif font, you ideally only want to have one primary font that will mostly be used for headers. Sans-serif fonts work best for body text, as they aren’t nearly as ‘busy’ and distracting.
Again, the choice is completely yours but I do recommend opting for just 1 Serif font and using it in a variety of ways (i.e. testing out all caps, italicizing the text, using a bold variation).
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the list!
