bookAdding Custom Fonts to the Web Page

Fonts play a crucial role in enhancing the visual appeal of a web page. Designers craft numerous memorable and beautiful fonts to leave a lasting impression on users. Websites with poorly designed fonts may struggle to capture attention. Fortunately, there are resources offering free access, allowing anyone to use pre-created fonts. However, it's essential to note that there are also licensed fonts that require purchase, and it's crucial to respect copyright laws to avoid any violations.

Google Fonts Service

There are many exciting fonts available for free use. Let's explore the options provided by Google. It's straightforward to add a Google font to the markup.

Firstly, let's run the next example, which uses the default font. The p element has the following properties: font-family (font name), font-size (font size), and font-weight (font boldness).

The font-family property doesn't work because our project isn't' yet aware of the "DM Sans" custom font. Let's add the font to the project using fonts.google.com.

In the "Search fonts" input field, type the font name you need. In this case, it's "DM Sans." Once it appears, click on the card for "DM Sans."

On the font's page, click the "Get font" button.

Next, click the "Get embed code" button.

Finally, copy the link and paste it into the HTML file of your project within the <head> element. It's important to insert the link before the link to your custom styles. This ensures that the browser will first load the custom fonts before applying any styles that use them. Once you've added the link, "DM Sans" will be available as a custom font for your project. Now, let's run the project to verify everything works correctly.
