How to use Google Fonts?
Now that you know what kind of font you’d like to use, assuming it’s available on Google Fonts 🙂 For example, you wanted to use Roboto Condensed. We need to search in and hit the Add to Collection.
Next is to hit Use, and copy the @import on your CSS stylesheet, or you can do it directly into your theme. Head to Appearance > Editor and paste it at the bottom.
After that, assuming you wanted to use this in the entire content font. You’ll add this piece of code in the body tag or p tag.
Now, save it and refresh your page. You’re now using Roboto Condensed font! If you’re the type that doesn’t mess around with your theme and use a plugin instead. There’s this plugin called WP Google Fonts, just installed it and select the font and you’re good to go!
