With that over, it’s time to start the main theory of this content that’s focused on how to add custom fonts to your WordPress website.

 

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.

Post that, you will need to hit the “Create font control” button and then you will be prompted to type in CSS selectors. Any of the two things you can do here is to either add HTML elements of your choice like h1, h2 etc. or simply use the CSS classes.

 

In case you want to know which CSS classes a specific area of your site uses, all it takes is using Inspect tools available out there.

 

After that is done, simply press the “Save font control” button to save the settings you just performed.

 

Here I would like to make one thing clear that if you are finding it difficult to work with CSS, you can contact the representative of our Los Angeles web design company to get a solution.

Coming back to font controllers, I want to convey to you that you can create a number of font controllers as per your requirement. And once you are done with that, you can use it for different sections of your website.

 

Step 4: For using the font controllers mentioned above, you can navigate to Appearance > Customizer and press the Typography tab once there. Here you have to look for a “Theme Typography” option and when you get it simply click on it to see the custom font controls you created a few moments ago.

 

Now the next thing you have to do is click on the edit button where you can choose the fonts and appearance for this control.

 

Now the last and most important thing - click on the Publish button and then your changes will be saved within a fraction of a second.

In case you want to find out a suitable font combination for your site that’s easily readable yet appealing, get in touch with our web design company in Los Angeles ASAP.

 

The Endnote

 

So, this was all about how to add custom fonts to your WordPress website in a nice and easy manner. Remember, if you really want to improve the visual appeal of your site and increase the readability of your content, using custom fonts is a wiser decision. Since custom fonts help your site appear different from its competitors, that helps your visitors to establish a distinct image of your brand in their mind. That’s not all if your fonts seem interesting to your visitors, they are more likely to stay longer on your site.
