Much of that changed with the launch of Google Fonts in 2010. Although not the first service of its kind (Typekit existed before), Google Fonts has become the go-to for custom web typography.
The obvious reason for that is the fact that all typing within the library is available under a free license. With over 800 fonts already available, the frequency, dynamics and several styles, that is a strong argument.
Secondly, as you will see, the service makes the use of its fonts much easier and less cluttered with any website. The best part: you don’t even need to handle the font on your server. Instead, you can simply point the user’s browser to Google and we’ll get a font directly from them.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Now, if you want to know how to use Google fonts with the WordPress website, just keep reading. That’s exactly what we’re going to get now.
You can download and use these fonts directly from Google, or upload them to your website and use them from Google servers.
