  • Version: 1.1
  • Active installations: 500+
  • WordPress Version: 5.0 or higher
  • Tested up to: 5.9
  • PHP Version: 7.2 or higher

Load the 20 most popular Google Fonts within your WordPress.

Apply them to the whole site or individually to each page or post content.

Usage

Once you install and activate the plugin, your editor toolbar will change, and you will see there are two new dropdowns with all available font options (see screenshots below).

The first one is for the font typeface, and the second is for font-weight and style.

Additionally, you can go to the Appearance > Fonts admin sub-menu and apply any of the available fonts to your whole site’s headings and body text.

Features

  • You can select from all available font variations and styles (100 … 900, italic, etc.) and you can use them to style your headings, blockquote, etc.
  • You can apply fonts to the whole site as well as a single page or post element via the editor (works only with the Classic Editor at this moment).
  • Very easy to use, with only a few clicks you can customize the font typeface, weight, and style of your page/post content.
  • All the fonts are loaded dynamically on a post/page basis using the Web Fonts Loader by Typekit so you can use different fonts on different pages and only the applied fonts will load up on the front-end.
  • Lightweight loading the fonts on the front end won’t affect you page loading speed.
