Google Fonts can be added to your store’s font library in a few simple steps.

Step 2: Select and Copy Code

Finalize your font choice and size like “Roboto Regular 400” Select the font size “28px”. and effortlessly copy the provided code for seamless integration.

Step 3: Paste Code into Theme Files

Access your Shopify theme’s code editor and strategically paste the code into the <head> section of your theme.liquid file.

Align with CSS: In your theme’s style files (in the “Assets” folder), apply the corresponding CSS rule to ensure consistent font usage throughout your store.

<link rel="preconnect"href="https://fonts.gstatic.com"crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
In the “Assets” folder, you will find a style file named “theme.scss.liquid”.

2. Implementing Third-Party Fonts

  • Expand your typographic options with unique fonts from reputable third-party providers.
