How To Add Custom Fonts In WordPress (An Easy Way)

Before we look at the whole process, I would like to make you informed that using just two fonts on your site is a good decision. If you use more than that your site will end up having slow load time.

However, if you slow down your site intentionally, or unintentionally, you can speak to the Wordpress developer experts of our Los Angeles web design company to speed it up.

With that out of the way, now let’s come back to the fonts topic we were discussing earlier.

The fonts you want to use for your website can come from Google Fonts, Typekit, FontSquirrel and a fair few more. Even we have used Easy Google Fonts in this tutorial to make you understand the easiest way to add custom fonts to your site.

Now let’s get started with the steps:

Step 1: Install Easy Google Fonts Plugin on your site from WordPress repository and then activate it for intended use.

Step 2: Once you have activated the plugin, the next thing you need to do is head over Appearance > Customizer page. Here you will see a live theme customizer screen including a new typography section.

Step 3: Simply click on the typography and you will see various sections of websites to use Google fonts. Here you can click on the “Edit Font” to make changes to your site's font.

Since every font has their own family, you can choose any one font among its various versions. Apart from that, you can also choose different settings such as font size, font style and many more according to your needs.

Take note that you may be provided with limited options here depending on your theme. For that reason you may find yourself unable to change the fonts for different parts of your website. However, this issue can be resolved if you use the options provided by the plugins to create your own controls. Once you have done that, you will be able to use those controls to change the fonts on your WordPress website.

To do this, the first and foremost thing you need to do is go to Settings > Google Fonts page and then add a name there for your font control. We recommend you provide a name that can be understood easily and hints you about where this control has to be used.
