    Yes, we can assist you.

    Can I ask is there a URL for your Brandon font?

    I checked online and I can only see paid versions. Have you purchased it already?

    Or do you have the downloaded file on your computer?

     

    We can try applying the font with the instructions here:

    You can generate your @font-face codes using this tool https://www.web-font-generator.com/ and add it on the Form designer on the Form builder. For example:


    @font-face {

        font-family: myFirstFont;

        src: url(http://www.yoursite.com/fonts/coolfont_bold.woff);

       font-weight: bold;

    }

    .form-all *{

    font-family: 'myFirstFont', sans-serif;

    }


    Let us know if you need more help.

    I have converted your font to web open font format (woff). Here is the link that you can download

    http://lexanimo.rf.gd/jotform/brandon - woff font.zip

    In addition, as a temporary measure, I also have uploaded the files in http://lexanimo.rf.gd/files/. You should be able to download and see the demo page there.

    If you do not have a web host account or a website, I can suggest to you some free hosting services where you can upload your files and then use the said font on your form as how Chriistian recommended it.

    Feel free to get back to us if you have questions or if you need assistance.

    Dear @boksha,

    I have cloned your form named "Job Application Form" on my side in order to test it.

    I am able to use the file that my colleague Liyam has converted to web open font format (woff). However, I need to inform you about that I have uploaded the files inside that zip file to my FTP server in order to use them in CSS codes. So, you need to upload the files to your own FTP server in order to call them.

    After uploading all of those files to my FTP, I have injected following CSS codes to the form in order to make it work as you can see in the following screenshot below:

    @font-face {

        font-family: 'Brandon Text';

        src: url('http://shots.jotform.com/cicek/BrandonText-Thin.eot');

        src: url('http://shots.jotform.com/cicek/BrandonText-Thin.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),

            url('http://shots.jotform.com/cicek/BrandonText-Thin.woff2') format('woff2'),

            url('http://shots.jotform.com/cicek/BrandonText-Thin.woff') format('woff'),

            url('http://shots.jotform.com/cicek/BrandonText-Thin.ttf') format('truetype'),

            url('http://shots.jotform.com/cicek/BrandonText-Thin.svg#BrandonText-Thin') format('svg');

        font-weight: 500;

        font-style: normal;

    }

    button{

       font-family: 'Brandon Text' !important;

    }

    label{

       font-family: 'Brandon Text' !important;

    }

    div{

       font-family: 'Brandon Text' !important;

    }

    So that way I have seen that the whole form text font has changed to Brandon. Please check the form on my side at the following link: https://form.jotform.com/73063753523960 

    I hope this will help.

    Please inject the following custom css code in form and that should make the labels bold:

    .form-label .form-label-top {

        font-family: 'Brandon Text' !important;

        font-weight: bold !important;

    }

    Hello ashwin,


    I followed your instruction, if you look at the form's font it looks a bit weird and faded.

    here is the link

    thank you

    I did check your form but did not find the custom css code shared by me. I have gone ahead and injected the custom css code to make your question labels bold but that does not seems to work. 

    I will work on this and get back to you soon.

    Your form label font size is 14 px which will be displayed faded and is caused because of the font family. I would suggest you to please increase the font size of form label, that should solve your problem. You can also inject the following custom css code to see if that solves your problem:

    label {

        font-family: 'Brandon Text' !important;

        font-size: x-large !important;

    }

    Thank you, still the font doesnt look normal. Size is massive + text looks faded !

     

    it might be that brandon text was not added properly?

    I believe the issue is related to font itself. The smaller size texts are not appearing correctly. I did check the font and I can confirm that for bigger font size, the "Brandon Text" is displayed faded. Please check the screenshot below:
