Implementing Typography Settings

Adding fonts using the font library

The font library in the site editor revolutionizes font management for block themes. Access it through Styles > Typography > Fonts to see all available typography tools in one place.

The library shows three types of information: fonts currently used by your theme, management options for active fonts (including removing variants or disabling entire families), and the ability to add new fonts from your files or Google Fonts.

When you install fonts from Google Fonts, WordPress downloads the files directly to your server rather than linking to Google’s CDN. This improves performance and privacy while making fonts part of your site’s assets.

The visual interface makes font management accessible to all users, though developers will want to export these changes to theme files rather than keeping them in the database.
