Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between web-safe and custom fonts?
Web-safe fonts are pre-installed on users' computers and render instantly. Custom fonts (from Google Fonts, Typekit, etc.) must be downloaded, adding latency but offering more variety. Most websites use a mix · web-safe fonts as fallbacks and custom fonts as primaries.
How do I use a Google Font on my website?
Copy the font-family CSS declaration provided by this tool and paste it into your CSS. Google Fonts are loaded via link tag in your HTML head. This tool already includes the font links · just apply the font-family rules to your elements.
What's a good serif font for body text?
Georgia and Merriweather are excellent for body text. They're highly readable on screens because they have good spacing and distinct letter forms. Times New Roman is too cramped for web. For modern serif, try Playfair Display.
