Add Font Size & Font Family Controls for Table Columns

Hello Retool Team,

I’d like to request a new customization feature for Table columns.

Currently, Retool allows us to set background color, text color, and header text color independently for each column. However, there is no option to customize font size or font family for the header and cell body separately.

It would be extremely helpful if Retool could provide:

  • Font size control (header and body independently)
  • Font family selection (header and body independently)
  • Consistency with the existing styling UI for colors (as shown in the current Appearance section in column settings)

This enhancement would allow teams to match internal style guides, improve readability, and create more accessible data presentations.

Thank you for considering this feature!

@WidleStudioLLP A good temporary workaround is setting this in the theme directly. This works well if you want all of your tables to have a specific header and cell font, but wouldn’t solve it for a single table.

@Mitchel_Smith,
I’m aware of the CSS styling that applies font size and family to the entire table, but my feature request is specifically for setting the font size and family for an individual cell, not the whole table.

Hello Retool Team
@Tess, @ChiEn, @sarahs, @Jack_T, @Darren, @Mike_M

Could you please consider adding this feature in an upcoming Retool update?
From both a UI/UX perspective and based on client requirements, this small enhancement would make a significant impact on how data is displayed on the screen. Improving font styling options for tables would help create a much cleaner and more professional look compared to the current limitations.

This addition would be extremely valuable for teams that rely heavily on data-heavy interfaces and want their applications to look more polished without needing workarounds.

Thank you for considering this!
