NEW Email Designer | Spacing Challenge

While initially excited about the NEW Email Designer, I’ve found it to be incredibly frustrating to work with. I would appreciate any support with the spacing issue I’m having. I’ve included images of how my email looks in Marketo and how it looks once sent via Gmail. You can see the spaces between sections at the top and bottom of the email. I can confirm that there is no extra padding in any of the components/fragments of my template. While I can see the HTML, in the design studio, it’s locked so I can’t make any changes. I have watched every tutorial and asked as many users I can find and can get no solution. 

Additionally, there’s no way to bring in plain rich text without losing our brand fonts, weights etc. UGH. Not having the ability to upload our brand fonts/colors in the new designer and having it hold while working on an email is crazy. To have to add a custom color for every usage is very frustrating.

    NOTE: I cannot identify padding, margin, spacer, or container settings responsible for the gaps between my header and body copy, the split in my footer, and the spacing my in the Organization Address copy in the footer. And I don’t like that the phone numbers color changes in the email.

    You should post the HTML (using the Code tool, don’t just paste it as text).

     

    What do you mean exactly by “bring in” Rich Text?

     

    (Also, given WebFont support is — to put it mildly — incomplete, you should always preview with WebFonts on and off.)
