Call to action to view more content or open content from a preview. ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXdXIdDCsOJwCkxo9V126EBSnD0yix07k8Y0VhVCUpLOdhMePOUJ2KCrCuIkqXpfOBH5p2nKK2JNAKos3lakwFGfnvmz5O0Gx6ok1Z4FJI3sqtg28ApnrnXmlk2tEmO40WwdZFU4KA-2.png)   **Fonts** These are the fonts to brand your platform. uConnect supports Google Fonts and custom font uploads in WOFF and WOFF2 formats. There are different font styles and font-weight for every font. Choose the one that you think will be used on the website. Usually, a regular, *regular italic*, and **bold** font style is needed. Generally, we look for a 400 (normal or regular, also called “book”) weight and a 700 (**bold**) weight. We also recommend an *italic version* of the 400 weight.   ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXfBEiL--dBpGpAxVjoki0My_RiDfdRQUfCiAenVIf8418YIibrLlSkFvoIO78rtbkRH_kS5CM1kzuoYakuhB86ggzgytzvh-8POAlyUms-OIpajEZq3E56SbuaseUXl5pV5mA50Zg-2.png)   **Colors** These are the default colors that are used to brand your platform.
