This article covers the how-tos of typography and showcases a great selection of 30 beautiful Google fonts that can easily be added to your website. We’ve covered fonts from modern to elegant, minimalist to playful to assist you in making a confident decision.
Customizing typography in Kadence lets you control your website’s fonts and styles sitewide. You can also set them to different font sizes for desktop, tablet, and mobile views. In addition to setting your styles in the customizer, you can also set different fonts, sizes, weights, and styles in your posts and pages.
The fonts you decide to use on your website can make or break your design. However, with thousands of free fonts on your Kadence website, choosing the perfect combinations can take time and effort, even for experienced designers. That’s why we decided to add 30 combinations to help you select the ideal set more easily.
Changing Your Fonts
To begin, go to Appearance > Customize > Typography. You will notice in this section that you can change your body font, heading font, line height, button fonts, letter spacing, sizes, site titles, taglines, and font color from this section.
The typography settings allow you to access a library of over 1,000 Google Fonts, so we do not suggest using extra plugins.

Our Glamsy Designs uses Lora for the headings, Roboto for the body, and Poppins for the menu and buttons. The headings are an average size, not too big and not too small, and the heading colors are dark brown. Here are a few essential tips to help you get started on your font journey:

NOTE: If some of these options are unavailable, you most likely do not have the Kadence Pro installed.
