Unlike the standard fonts installed on your computer, web fonts are downloaded from the internet and displayed in the browser when you visit a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They allow web designers to use a wide variety of fonts beyond the basic ones like Arial, Times New Roman, or Verdana, making the website more visually appealing and helping to convey a particular style or brand identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading h4\" id=\"types-of-web-fonts\">Types of Web Fonts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you learn how to change font in WordPress, you might be interested in web font types. There are several types of web fonts, each with special characteristics and uses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Serif Fonts:<\/strong> These fonts have small lines or decorative strokes attached to the end of their letters. They look formal and traditional. Examples include Times New Roman and Georgia. Serif fonts are often used in newspapers, magazines, and academic websites.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-01.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Serif Font Example\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Serif Font Example\" width=\"583\" height=\"124\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sans-Serif Fonts:<\/strong> These fonts do not have small lines at the end of letters, so they look clean and modern. Examples include Arial, Helvetica, and Open Sans. Sans-serif fonts are popular for digital content because they are easy for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/blog\/find-your-target-audience\/\" alt=\"Link to Hosted.com Blogs - Target Audience - Let Us Help You Find Yours\" title=\"Hosted.com - Target Audience - Let Us Help You Find Yours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your target audience<\/a> to read on screens.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-02.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Sans-Serif Font Example\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Sans-Serif Font Example\" width=\"585\" height=\"122\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Script Fonts:<\/strong> These fonts look like cursive handwriting or calligraphy. They are often used for decorative purposes or to add a personal touch. Examples include Pacifico and Brush Script. Script fonts are suitable for invitations, logos, and artistic designs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-03.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Script Font Example\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Script Font Example\" width=\"584\" height=\"128\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Monospace Fonts:<\/strong> In these fonts, each letter takes up the same amount of space. They are often used in programming and coding because they make it easy to line up characters. Examples include Courier and Consolas.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-04.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Monospace Font Example\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Monospace Font Example\" width=\"584\" height=\"126\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Display Fonts:<\/strong> These are creative, eye-catching fonts designed to grab attention. They are often used in headings, posters, and banners. Examples include Impact and Lobster. Also, display fonts can be playful, bold, or highly stylized.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-05.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Display Font Example\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Display Font Example\" width=\"584\" height=\"133\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading h4\" id=\"use-of-web-fonts-in-word-press\">Use of Web Fonts in WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are multiple ways to add web fonts to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/blog\/how-to-launch-a-wordpress-site-detailed-guide\/\" alt=\"Link to Hosted.com Blogs - How to Launch a WordPress Site - A Comprehensive Guide\" title=\"Hosted.com - How to Launch a WordPress Site - A Comprehensive Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress site<\/a> to customize the appearance of your content. Here\u2019s how you can use web fonts in WordPress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"google-fonts\">Google Fonts<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Fonts is a popular and free resource that offers a huge selection of web fonts. To use Google Fonts in WordPress, go to the Google Fonts website, select the font you like, and then embed it into your site. This usually involves copying a small code piece into your WordPress theme&#8217;s <strong>functions.php<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install-a-font-plugin\">Install a Font Plugin<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re uncomfortable editing code, use a WordPress plugin to add web fonts. Plugins like Easy Google Fonts or Custom Fonts allow you to browse and select fonts directly from your WordPress dashboard. Once installed, these plugins make it easy to apply new fonts to different sections of your site without having any coding knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"edit-your-themes-css\">Edit Your Theme\u2019s CSS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those with some coding experience, you can add web fonts by editing your theme&#8217;s CSS file. This involves linking to the web font in the CSS and then using the font-family property to apply the font to specific elements on your site, such as headings or paragraphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-a-theme-with-built-in-font-options\">Use a Theme with Built-in Font Options<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/blog\/10-free-wordpress-themes\/\" alt=\"Link to Hosted.com Blogs - 10 Top Free WordPress Themes for your Website\" title=\"Hosted.com - 10 Top Free WordPress Themes for your Website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress themes<\/a> come with built-in options to select and use various web fonts. If your theme includes this feature, you can usually find it in the customization options under <strong>Typography<\/strong> or <strong>Fonts<\/strong>. This is the easiest way to change fonts without adding extra plugins or editing code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know what a web font is and how to use it on your WordPress website, we will discuss how to change font on a WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3\" id=\"how-to-change-font-in-word-press\">How to Change Font in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Various methods teach you how to change font in WordPress. However, your chosen method will depend on your theme or customization preferences. Premium themes like Divi offer a built-in font manager that automatically includes Google Fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Divi lets you enable all Google font subsets through the theme settings, allowing for broader font choices. For other themes, you can typically modify fonts using the Theme Customizer. However, the available font options may be more limited, depending on your chosen theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re working with block themes that support Full Site Editing (FSE), like Twenty Twenty-Two, you can edit the <strong>theme.json<\/strong> file to add custom fonts. Alternatively, you can install a Font Manager plugin or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/blog\/features-of-gutenberg-wordpress-editor\/\" alt=\"Link to Hosted.com Blogs - Exploring the Features of Gutenberg WordPress Editor\" title=\"Hosted.com - Exploring the Features of Gutenberg WordPress Editor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use the Gutenberg block editor<\/a> to adjust typography. Lastly, you can add fonts to your WordPress theme manually if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will walk through each method to learn how WordPress change font options can be adjusted, allowing you to personalize your site&#8217;s typography effectively and effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading h4\" id=\"use-theme-customizer\">Use Theme Customizer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Theme Customizer (a.k.a Visual Customizer and WordPress Customizer) is a built-in WordPress tool that allows you to customize the appearance of your website easily. It provides a live preview so you can view the changes to your site&#8217;s design in real-time before saving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the theme customizer, you can change various aspects of your site, such as colors, fonts, layout, and more, without any coding skills. Here\u2019s how to change font in WordPress with Theme Customizer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1\">Step 1<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, log in to your WordPress admin area (dashboard) by going to <em>yourwebsite.com\/wp-admin<\/em> and entering your username and password. Don\u2019t forget to replace the \u2018<em>yourwebsite\u2019 <\/em>and \u2018<em>.com\u2019<\/em> with your domain name and extension.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-06.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Login to WordPress Dashboard\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Login to WordPress Dashboard\" width=\"329\" height=\"403\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2\">Step 2<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once logged in, from the left-hand menu, navigate to <strong>Appearance <\/strong>and click on <strong>Customize <\/strong>to customize your theme. For this section example, we\u2019re using the OceanWP WordPress theme.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-07.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Customize WordPress Theme\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Customize WordPress Theme\" width=\"694\" height=\"265\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, sometimes, you may not find the <strong>Customize <\/strong>option under the <strong>Appearance <\/strong>menu. For example, if you\u2019re using the Twenty Twenty-Four theme, you\u2019ll find the <strong>Customize <\/strong>button on your active theme as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-08.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Customize WordPress Theme\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Customize WordPress Theme\" width=\"692\" height=\"325\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will open the Theme Customizer, where you can change your site and see a live preview of the updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3\">Step 3<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the customizer menu, click on <strong>Typography. <\/strong>This option allows you to modify the font settings for various parts of your website, such as headings, paragraphs, and menus. Note that this option may vary depending on the theme you\u2019re using. Some themes come with more customization options than others.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-09.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Typography in OceanWP\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Typography in OceanWP\" width=\"690\" height=\"164\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the <strong>Typography <\/strong>section, you will find settings for different text elements, such as <strong>All Headings<\/strong>, <strong>Body<\/strong>, and <strong>Main Menu<\/strong> text. Click on each of the sections that you want to change. For example, click <strong>Heading 2 (H2) <\/strong>to change the H2 text font.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the section you chose, you&#8217;ll see options to change fonts in WordPress. Click on the <strong>Font Family<\/strong> drop-down menu to see a list of fonts. Scroll through the list and click on the font you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as you select a font, you&#8217;ll see the change happen on the preview of your site on the right. This allows you to experiment with different fonts and see the changes before making them permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-10.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Change Fonts in WordPress for H2 Headings\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Change Fonts in WordPress for H2 Headings\" width=\"747\" height=\"417\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, you can also change other settings like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Font Weight:<\/strong> Makes the text thinner or bolder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Font Style:<\/strong> Choose normal or italic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Text Transform: <\/strong>Make the text uppercase, lowercase, or capitalized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Font Size:<\/strong> Change how big or small the text is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line Height:<\/strong> Adjust the space between lines of text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Letter Spacing:<\/strong> Change the space between letters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Font Color: <\/strong>Change the font color in the WordPress site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the font changes, click the <strong>Publish<\/strong> button at the top of the customizer to save your updates. The new fonts will now be applied to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-11.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Save Changes\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Save Changes\" width=\"651\" height=\"99\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you want to change fonts in other areas, repeat Step 3 for each section (Body, Main Menu, etc.). This way, you can have different fonts for headings and body text if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading h4\" id=\"use-word-press-full-site-editing-fse\">Use WordPress Full Site Editing (FSE)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full Site Editing (FSE) is a powerful new feature in WordPress that allows you to make design changes across your entire website, not just individual pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With FSE, you can customize everything from headers and footers to fonts, all in one place. To explore how to change font on WordPress using FSE, you need to follow the steps given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-1\">Step 1<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, ensure your theme is block-based because FSE only works with block-based themes, such as Twenty Twenty-Two. To check if you&#8217;re using a compatible theme, go to <strong>Appearance <\/strong>\u2192 <strong>Themes <\/strong>in your WordPress dashboard. If you\u2019re not using a block-based theme, search for one in the WordPress theme directory and install it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-12.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Install Twenty-twenty Two Theme\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Install Twenty-twenty Two Theme\" width=\"749\" height=\"342\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once it\u2019s installed, click <strong>Activate <\/strong>to activate it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-13.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Activate Twenty-twenty Two Theme\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Activate Twenty-twenty Two Theme\" width=\"742\" height=\"241\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-2\">Step 2<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to <strong>Appearance <\/strong>\u2192 <strong>Editor<\/strong>.

Here\u2019s a simple, step-by-step guide on how to use custom fonts in FSE themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-13\">Step 1<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by selecting the custom font you want to use. You can find free fonts on sites such as Google Fonts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fontsquirrel.com\/\" alt=\"Link to Font Squirrel - Free Fonts\" title=\"Font Squirrel - Free Fonts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Font Squirrel<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/fonts.adobe.com\/\" alt=\"Link to Adobe Fonts - Explore Unlimited Fonts\" title=\"Adobe Fonts - Explore Unlimited Fonts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe Fonts<\/a>. For this tutorial, we\u2019ll use the <strong>Roboto <\/strong>Google Fonts that we used in the previous section. However, the approach would be different \u2013 see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, once you find your desired font, download it in web-safe formats like <em>.ttf<\/em>. These formats are recommended for use on websites.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/images\/kb\/tutorials\/Tut-OS-035-38.png\" alt=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Download Google Font\" title=\"How to Change Fonts in WordPress - Download Google Font\" width=\"572\" height=\"144\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the download is complete, you\u2019ll get a zip file on your local machine.

To keep your site fast, choose fonts that are optimized for the web and only load the styles you need, like regular or bold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choose Readable &amp; Accessible Fonts: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to pick fonts that are easy to read on all devices. Make sure the text size is big enough and that there\u2019s a good contrast between the text and background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limit the Number of Fonts for a Clean Design: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using too many fonts can make your site look messy. So, it\u2019s better to stick to one or two fonts to keep things simple and professional. This will also improve your website&#8217;s speed and overall design consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these best practices, you can ensure your website is fast, readable, and visually appealing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/hosting\/wordpress\" alt=\"Link to Hosted\u00ae - WordPress Hosting\" title=\"Hosted\u00ae - WordPress Hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/change-fonts-in-wordpress-1-1024x229.png\" alt=\"Strip Banner Text - Revolutionize your website with Hosted\u00ae\u2019s Premium WordPress Hosting.
