Implementing Typography Settings

Exercise Overview – Adding a Google font

The classic Bosco theme uses the Lora font family, which traditionally required complex coding to load from Google Fonts CDN. Modern WordPress makes this dramatically simpler through the built-in Font Library.

This exercise demonstrates how much easier font management has become in block themes. Instead of writing custom PHP functions and managing font loading performance, you can accomplish everything through the visual interface.

You’ll use the site editor’s font management tools to add Lora with all the necessary variants (normal, bold, italic, bold italic) that the original Bosco theme requires.

The process showcases how block themes simplify traditionally complex development tasks into user-friendly workflows.
