Customizing Typography for Specific Blocks
If you want to customize typography for individual blocks:
- Open Appearance > Editor and navigate to the page or template you want to edit.
- Select the block you wish to customize (e.g., Heading, Paragraph, Button).
- In the right sidebar, click on the Styles tab.
- Modify settings such as Font Family, Font Size, Line Height, Letter Spacing, and Text Decoration.
- Click Save to update the changes.
Using Custom Fonts
To add custom fonts to your theme:
- Install a plugin like Create Block Theme or Typography Manager.
- Upload your custom font file (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, or OTF).
- Assign the new font through Appearance > Editor > Styles > Typography.
- Click Save to apply the custom font.
Creating a Consistent Typographic Style
- Use a limited number of fonts to maintain visual harmony.
