Adding fonts

Install Google Fonts, use the fonts that come with templates, and upload your own font files so they appear in every font picker.

Fonts shape the personality of your site. Webpress gives you a large library of free Google Fonts, the fonts that ship with templates, and the option to upload your own font files. Once added, a font appears in every font picker — in Typography and in the Brand Kit.

Install a Google Font

Google Fonts is a huge collection of free, high-quality fonts.

  1. Open a font picker (in the Typography sector, or the Brand Kit's font setting) and choose Install Google Fonts — or use Add fonts in the Brand Kit tab.
  2. In the font browser, search by name or filter by category (Serif, Sans-serif, Display, Handwriting, Monospace).
  3. Preview the fonts, then add the ones you want to your project.
  4. They now appear in your font dropdowns, ready to use.

Two fonts is plenty. A heading font and a body font usually look best. Loading many fonts also slows your published page down.

Fonts that come with templates

When you start from a template, the fonts that template was designed with are already available in your pickers and set in your Brand Kit. You can keep them or swap them.

Upload your own font

If your brand uses a specific licensed font, you can upload it (when this feature is enabled on your plan).

  1. In the Brand Kit tab, choose Upload font.
  2. Select a .woff2 file (the web-optimized font format, up to 10 MB).
  3. Fill in:
    • a name (e.g. "Acme Sans"),
    • the weight it represents (100–900),
    • the style (normal or italic),
    • and confirm you have the rights to use and embed the font.
  4. Upload. The font joins your dropdowns like any other.

To cover both regular and bold (or italic) text properly, upload each weight/style as its own file with the matching settings.

Licensing matters

Only upload fonts you're licensed to use on a website. Many fonts require a specific web font license for embedding — using one without it can be a copyright issue. Google Fonts are free for commercial use, which is why they're the safe default.
