The Typography section lets you pick one font for your entire app. You’ll find it under WordPress admin → Settings → Identity & Branding → Typography. You can bring in a font two ways:
  • Upload files — upload TTF or OTF files directly. Regular weight is required; Medium, SemiBold, and Bold are optional.
  • Google Fonts — browse and import from the Google Fonts library. The plugin downloads the font files to your server, so phones never contact Google directly. This requires a free API key (see below).
Leave the selection on the default to use the app’s built-in font.

​
Managing installed fonts

Installed fonts appear in a table on the Typography page. Each row has a Delete button. Deleting the currently selected font puts the app back on the built-in font. A few things to know:
  • Weights you don’t provide fall back to the closest weight you did supply.
  • Italics are not supported.

Setting up a Google Fonts API key

Uploading your own files works without any API key. The key is only needed to browse and import from Google Fonts.
  1. Go to console.cloud.google.com and sign in with any Google account.
  2. Create a new project or select an existing one. A dedicated project named something like “Blockli Fonts” keeps things tidy, but any project works.
  3. Open APIs & Services → Library, search for Web Fonts Developer API, and click Enable.
  4. Go to APIs & Services → Credentials, click Create credentials → API key, and copy the key.
  5. Optionally, click the key and restrict it to the Web Fonts Developer API only, so it can’t be used for anything else.
  6. Back in WordPress, paste the key into the Google Fonts API key field on the Typography page and click Save. The font list loads.
The Web Fonts Developer API is free. Google Cloud may ask you to add billing details when you first create a project — that’s a Google requirement, not ours. You won’t be charged for font browsing.
Don’t set an app or website restriction on the API key. Requests come from your WordPress server, so a website restriction would block them. An API restriction to the Web Fonts Developer API is safe and recommended.
