How to Add Fonts to Elementor Free

Fonts are a little hint to your website and brand characteristics. Some brands use fonts to give more details about what the audience can expect from the brand. And therefore, you can set the mood with the customer.

And there are a limited number of fonts (800 Google fonts) that are usually included with Elementor and WordPress in general. So you will need to add your fonts.

There is a great method to add custom fonts to WordPress manually. But there are some technical aspects to this approach. So while this is a solution, it might be something that those new to WordPress and Elementor might not be able to do without the help of a website developer.

@font-face {
    font-family: 'nameofnewfont';
    src: url("/fonts/nameofnewfont.woff2") format("woff2"),
   	  url("/fonts/nameofnewfont.woff") format("woff");
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

Then you need to configure the elements that will use the font by adding them to the same stylesheet.
