Google Fonts

Dressing your words in style since forever. 💅 

What Is Google Fonts? 

Google Fonts is a free library of web-optimized typefaces. Think of it as a wardrobe for your website’s words — over 1,500 fonts just waiting to make your content look sharp, sleek, or playful (depending on your vibe). It’s fast, open-source, and made for developers and designers alike. 

Why It Exists (and Why You Should Care) 

Back in the day, websites were stuck with the same tired fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, maybe Comic Sans if you were feeling rebellious. Google Fonts changed that by making typography on the web more flexible and expressive — without killing load times. 

Why Everyone Uses It 

  • It’s free: No licenses, no fees, no drama. 
  • It’s easy to embed: One link in your HTML, and boom — your website looks 10x better. 
  • It’s fast: Fonts load from Google’s servers, which are optimized for speed. 
  • It’s consistent: Looks great on desktop, mobile, tablet, or your smart fridge. 

How Google Fonts Works 

  1. Go to fonts.google.com. 
  1. Browse and preview fonts with your own sample text. 
  1. Select the fonts you want. 
  1. Copy the provided <link> tag into your site’s <head>. 
  1. Use CSS to apply the font to any element on your site. 

Example: 

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> 

body { 
 font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; 
} 

How to Choose the Right Font 

→ Match your brand: A fintech startup shouldn’t use a handwriting font. 
→ Keep it legible: If people can’t read it, it’s not stylish — it’s annoying. 
→ Limit combinations: Stick to 1–2 fonts max. Don’t turn your site into a ransom note. 
→ Use weights wisely: Fonts come in light, bold, black, etc. Use contrast to guide attention.
