How to Fix Typography on Your AI-Generated Website
AI builders often use default fonts and uniform sizing. Learn how to improve typography to make your website look custom-designed.
Typography is often the single biggest design weakness in AI-generated websites. Most builders default to system fonts or basic Google Fonts like Inter or Roboto, applied uniformly across all text elements. While these are perfectly readable fonts, using them without a clear typographic hierarchy makes your site look generic.
Here are the most common typography issues in AI sites and how to fix them.
Uniform font sizing: AI builders often use similar sizes for headings and body text, creating a flat visual hierarchy. The fix is establishing a clear type scale where your h1 is dramatically larger than your h2, which is noticeably larger than your body text.
Missing font pairing: Professional sites use at least two complementary typefaces, typically a serif or display font for headings and a clean sans-serif for body text. AI sites usually use one font for everything.
Poor line height and spacing: Default line heights are often too tight for body text and too loose for headings. Adjusting these creates immediate visual improvement.
No letter spacing variation: Headlines benefit from tighter letter spacing while uppercase labels need wider spacing. AI builders rarely adjust this.
Polsh AI addresses all of these issues automatically. Each theme includes carefully calibrated typography settings with professional font pairings, proper type scales, and optimized spacing.

What font should I use for my AI-generated website?+
Use a font pairing with at least two complementary typefaces. A serif or display font for headings combined with a clean sans-serif for body text (e.g., Playfair Display + Inter) creates immediate visual sophistication.
Why does my AI website's typography look flat?+
Most AI builders use a single font for all text elements with similar sizing, creating a flat hierarchy. Establishing a clear type scale with dramatically different heading and body sizes fixes this.
What line height should I use for body text?+
A line height of 1.6 to 1.8 is ideal for body text. This creates enough breathing room between lines for comfortable reading without feeling too loose.
