The CRM now uses the Dazos design system typefaces: Open Sans for text and Nunito for page and section titles. The CRM delivers both fonts, so they load quickly and look the same on every computer. Instances that never chose a font of their own automatically moved to Open Sans; instances with a custom font choice keep it.

4. Frequently Asked Questions
1. Before You Start
You will need: nothing new for everyday use.
Access requirements: everyone sees the new fonts. Changing the font for the whole instance requires administrator access to Settings → Theme Options.
If text still looks like the old font after the release, reload the page once with a hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows, Cmd + Shift + R on Mac).
2. What Looks Different
Element | Font |
Body text (tables, forms, menus, buttons) | Open Sans |
Page titles and section headings (for example the module name at the top of a list) | Nunito |
Instances that chose another font (Roboto, Poppins, …) | Unchanged: titles and body both use the chosen font |
Tip: Text may look slightly wider or narrower than before in a few places, for example a long module title that now wraps to two lines on a small window. Nothing is cut off; make the window wider or collapse the left menu.
3. Choosing a Font for Your Instance
Administrators can pick the body font for all users of the instance.
1. Go to Settings → Theme Options.
2. Find Font Style. Two new options are available: Open Sans (the platform default) and Nunito. 3. Pick a font and click Save.
Your choice | Body text | Titles |
Open Sans | Open Sans | Nunito |
Nunito | Nunito | Nunito |
Any other font | That font | That font |
Important: The change applies to every user of the instance the next time they load a page. No per-user configuration is needed.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: We never changed the font. What happens to us? Your instance moved to Open Sans with Nunito titles at deployment. No action is needed.
Q: We picked Roboto years ago. Did that change? No. We keep your custom choice exactly as it was, and titles keep using the same font as the body.
Q: Can we go back to the old default look? Yes. In Theme Options choose the font your instance used before and save.
Q: Does this affect emails or PDFs sent from the CRM? No. Emails and generated documents keep their own styling.
Q: Does this affect the AllevaCRM brand? AllevaCRM instances keep their brand font unless an administrator picks another one in Theme Options.
