Fonts & appearance

Markzen is built to make a document look typeset rather than generic. Most of these controls live on the toolbar, so you can adjust them while you read; the theme and interface language live in Settings → Display.

Style template

A toolbar picker offers five preview styles: Standard, GitHub, Book, Modern, Minimal. The template you pick is also the style applied to PDF and HTML exports, so it decides how a shared document reads — choose Book or Modern for something you'll hand off, Minimal for distraction-free reading. The template styles the preview only, never the editor.

Fonts

Three toolbar pickers set a separate font for each kind of text — Header, Body and Code — which is what makes a Markzen document feel typeset:

  • Heading — Oswald, Playfair Display, Merriweather, Raleway, Montserrat, Lora, Libre Baskerville, Bebas Neue, Abril Fatface, Cinzel.
  • Body — Inter, Roboto, Georgia, Lato, Source Serif 4, Nunito, PT Serif, Crimson Text, Libre Franklin, Open Sans.
  • Code — DM Mono, Fira Code, JetBrains Mono, Source Code Pro, Cascadia Code.

Text size

The toolbar's Increase font size and Decrease font size buttons change the text size.

Theme & language

In Settings → Display:

  • Theme — Light or Dark. Default: Light.
  • Language — Markzen's own interface is translated into more than fifty languages, including right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean).
