Colour gets most of the attention when people style a digital business card, but font and layout do just as much work. A left-aligned card in a serif heading font reads differently from a centred card in a rounded sans-serif, even with the exact same details and the exact same colours. If your card still uses whatever a built-in template gave it, a few minutes on these settings makes it feel chosen rather than default.
Where these settings live
Open your card in the editor and go to the Theme tab. A built-in template comes with its own font and layout already set, and Classic options lets you swap in a different card font over that template. To control every setting yourself — heading font, body font, text size, left or centre alignment, photo shape and size, and corner style — open the theme studio and build your own theme, covered in create and apply a theme. See the full list of controls in themes and branding.
Choosing between six card fonts
MyInfo offers six card fonts, split roughly between classic serif-leaning options that read as established and cleaner sans-serif options that read as modern. A legal, financial or consulting card usually sits better with a more traditional font; a salon, fitness or creative card usually suits a lighter, rounder one. In the theme studio you can set a separate heading font and body font, so your name can carry more weight than your bio text without switching the whole card.
Left-align or centre?
Centre alignment is the safer default: it looks balanced on a phone screen at any width and is what most built-in templates use. Left alignment reads as slightly more formal and editorial, closer to a printed letterhead or a résumé, which suits legal, consulting and corporate cards. There is no wrong answer for most professions — the useful test is to switch it in the live preview and read your own name and title out loud in both, since alignment changes how quickly the eye lands on them.
Photo shape and text size
A circular photo feels friendlier and is the more common choice for salons, fitness and personal-brand cards; a square or rounded-square photo feels more corporate and suits real estate, legal and finance. Text size is worth checking on an actual phone screen rather than the editor's preview alone — a size that looks fine on a laptop can crowd a smaller phone, especially once your title and company name are both on one line.
Corner style and button style
Sharp corners and outline buttons read as minimal and serious; soft or round corners with filled, full-width buttons read as warm and approachable. This is the fastest way to shift a card's tone without touching a single colour, and it is worth matching to whatever your business already uses on its website or printed materials so a visitor recognises the brand.
Keep it consistent across your company
Once you settle on a font, alignment and shape combination that fits your business, save it as a theme rather than repeating the choices by hand on every card. Every card using that theme updates together if you change your mind later, so a whole sales team or clinic keeps a matching look. Free accounts can save one custom theme; accounts with a Premium card can save several — useful if, say, your customer-facing cards and your internal team cards should look slightly different. Create your free digital business card and try a few combinations in the live preview before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to use the theme studio to change my font?
No. If you are happy with a built-in template's layout, Classic options under the Theme tab lets you pick one of the six card fonts and an accent colour without opening the full theme studio. The theme studio is only needed if you also want to change alignment, photo shape, text size or corner style.
Will changing the font or layout affect my content or links?
No. Font, alignment, photo shape and corner style are all appearance settings. Your details, links, videos and text sections stay exactly as you entered them no matter how many times you change the look, so there is no risk in trying a few combinations.
