I’ve been noticing a lot of different fonts on Google AdSense here on SEJ, and AdSense has been known to test new fonts since 2008 and back in 2006 I documented how AdSense Font Size changed with Firefox Browser Text Size, now AdSense is letting publishers set their preferred fonts in the AdSense Editor.
The fonts Google is letting bloggers and publishers currently choose are Arial, Times and Verdanna. Ideally the service would automatically optimize and/or suggest your site’s best fonts via an AdSense Alerts or notes from the Optimization Team, but perhaps that will happen in the future. [More from the Inside AdSense Blog]
For now, just log into your AdSense account, select the My Account Tab, then Account Settings. Under Account Settings select Ad Display Preference and you’ll see the dropdown for selecting a preferred Google Adsense font.
You can also set up specific fonts per Ad type :
However, you can also select custom font faces for specific ad units that you’ve created with the Manage Ads feature. When creating new ad units, you’ll be prompted to select between the default ‘Standard AdSense font family’, your new account-wide font face (if you’ve selected one), or another font face. You can also change the appearance of existing ad units, by visiting the Manage Ads page of your account and updating your font choices for specific ad units. Once you’ve changed the font face of an ad unit away from the default, those selections will be maintained even if you change your account-wide settings later.
Good news, Loren! I was waiting for that option in Adsense.
Hey that nice…. Adsense is improving day by day… I hope it moves on and on…
First of all, thanks to Google. This is a nice improve – it was getting bored to see same font again and again.
However, from my Adsense account, I can see only 3 fonts, Arial, Times and Verdana – are these 3 only available at the moment?
@ J U Yes, those are the only 3 available for setting up by the user, but I expect Google will be testing more AdSense fonts themselves based on page formatting.
@Loren Baker, I read the official annoucement of the service and found that a good number of people is asking for Trebuchet MS to be added in the list.
I personally like Trebuchet MS a lot – looking forward for that. Most of my websites are using the font – it will be a great blending with the content.
Good addtion by Google. But will some fonts increase conversions more so than others?
Any good articles on the linking value of social websites? Any chance Google will ignore those sites from rankings?

Thanks a lot …. this will really be very helpful and the matter of the fact is the whole content fall so smoothly at place …. make it very readable …. appreciate the effort.
From the very begining it was hard to believe that different fonts can impact on earnings and now after almost one year on my own practice can confirm that doubts were confirmed. My earnings increased by five-ten percent and that’s it.
