I would like to know if I have to change the default of the labels fonts and Swing buttons, if possible, of the general design.

All the labels that I create I have to keep changing the font to one that is bigger a bit and another style, this is tiring and I waste a lot of time. I looked hard at how to change and found nothing.

Can anyone help me?

According to this answer in jGuru you can define the source of each resource, only of the components you are interested in - in this case the label and the button .

UIManager.put("Button.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("RadioButton.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("CheckBox.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("ColorChooser.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("ComboBox.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("Label.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("List.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("MenuBar.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("MenuItem.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("RadioButtonMenuItem.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("CheckBoxMenuItem.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("Menu.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("PopupMenu.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("Panel.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("ProgressBar.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("ScrollPane.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("Viewport.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("TabbedPane.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("Table.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("TableHeader.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("TextField.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("PasswordField.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("TextArea.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("TextPane.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("EditorPane.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("TitledBorder.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("ToolBar.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", /* font of your liking */);
UIManager.put("Tree.font", /* font of your liking */);

Or you can change the value of the objects in UIManager.getDefault().keys() instances that are FontUIResource .

Important: This solution will depend on the Look and feel of your application. Home If you are using Nimbus , for example, the changes did not take effect.

public void setDefaultFont(Font defaultFont){

   FontUIResource font = new FontUIResource(defaultFont);

   Enumeration uiManagerKeys = UIManager.getDefaults().keys();
   while(uiManagerKeys.hasMoreElements()){
        Object key   = uiManagerKeys.nextElement(),
               value = UIManager.get(key);

        if(null != value && value instanceof FontUIResource)
            UIManager.put(key, font);
   }
}

And make use of it like this:

Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 25);
setDefaultFont(font);

Result in Windows 10:
