  3. Choose your fonts from the dropdown list of all the fonts available and save your selections.
  4. Add the provided css font-family properties code to your theme or child theme stylesheet.

FAQ

My font is not showing up

If you have added the font family rule to the correct element in your stylesheet, try adding some specificity.

When styling a logo link with the class of .logo, I might add the #header id if I was having problems with strong specificity.

header .logo {

font-family: ‘Six Caps’;
font-size: 1.5em; /* Adjustments to font sizes may be needed. */
}
