Options to change font (choose one for implementation):

  1. Serif — classic, elegant: Georgia, Times New Roman, Baskerville

  2. Sans-serif — clean, modern:

    To change to Helvetica, follow the instructions for your specific platform:

    macOS (system font in apps that allow font selection)

    • Open the app (e.g., Pages, TextEdit, Mail composer).

    • Highlight the text or set the default font in the app’s preferences.

    • Choose Helvetica from the Font menu.

    Windows (applications like Microsoft Office)

    • In the app, select the text or open the Font settings.

    • Choose Helvetica (if installed) from the font list.

    • To set as default in Office: File → Options → General → “When creating new workbooks/documents” or use the font dialog’s “Set as Default.”

    Microsoft Word (cross-platform)

    • Select Home → Font dropdown → choose Helvetica.

    • To make default: open the Font dialog (small arrow in Font group) → choose Helvetica → Click “Set As Default.”

    Google Docs

    • Google Docs does not include Helvetica by default. Install a similar font (Arial) or:

      • Use the Extensis Fonts add-on to access additional fonts, or

      • Upload a document with embedded Helvetica from a desktop app and open it in Docs (may substitute).

    Adobe apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)

    • Select the Type tool, highlight text.

    • Choose Helvetica from the font menu. If not installed, install Helvetica in your system first.

    Web (CSS)

    • Use a font stack that falls back if Helvetica isn’t available: font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    • For web licensing, consider using a hosted font service or include licensed font files with @font-face.

    Install Helvetica

    • If Helvetica is missing, obtain a licensed copy and install it:

      • macOS: double-click the font file → Font Book → Install.

      • Windows: right-click the font file → Install for all users.

    Notes

    • Helvetica is a commercial font; ensure you have the proper license for desktop embedding, web use, or distribution.

    • On many systems Arial or system UI fonts will be used as substitutes if Helvetica isn’t available.

  3. Arial, Futura, Proxima Nova

  4. Humanist sans — approachable and refined: Gill Sans, Optima, Frutiger

  5. Transitional serif — refined but readable: Merriweather, Garamond, Sabon

  6. Display/script — decorative for headings only: Playfair Display, Didot, Mrs Eaves, Bickham Script

  7. Handwritten/organic — artisanal feel: Amatic SC, Pacifico, Indie Flower

  8. Monospace — technical, minimal: Courier New, Consolas

Recommended pairings for a jewelry brand:

  • Headings: Playfair Display (elegant) / Body: Proxima Nova (clean) — upscale, modern-luxury.

  • Headings: Didot / Body: Helvetica Neue — high-fashion, refined.

  • Headings: Merriweather / Body: Open Sans — warm, readable, artisanal.

  • Headings: Bickham Script (accent only) / Body: Proxima Nova — handcrafted luxury with modern clarity.

Suggested font-size and spacing (web):

  • Heading (H1): 36–48 px, line-height 1.1–1.2

  • Subheading (H2): 24–32 px, line-height 1.2

  • Body text: 16–18 px, line-height 1.5

  • Letter-spacing for headings: 0.5–1 px (tracking for display fonts)

  • Paragraph spacing: margin-bottom 12–18 px

If you want, I can:

  • Provide CSS snippets for a selected pairing.

  • Generate sample text in the chosen fonts and sizes.

  • Recommend web-safe or Google Font alternatives for implementation.
