Text Style

Learn about the default text style settings for your chart.

The text style settings define the default appearance of all text in your chart. Use these to establish a consistent brand identity — font, text borders, and text shadows. These defaults can be overwritten inside individual text style sections throughout the panels (for example, in the title, legend, or axis labels).
