I downloaded the new Daew theme 10.0 into my theme library but did not publish it. However, since then, the font is different on the published version of my site versus what is in the editor. For typography, I’ve chosen Montserrat. this seems to be a standard Mono. I’ve cleared all cookies and caches and even tried an incognito browser. Why are they showing differently?

Hi,

Hope this will help

  • Check the typography settings within your theme are correctly configured to use the Montserrat font
  • Check that you are previewing the correct version of the theme
  • Disable any custom code or apps temporarily that modify the typography or styling of your store
  • Contact theme developer or Shopify support
