In this case, we wanted to introduce 13 new font options (for a total of 16 fonts) and we wanted to make sure that they loaded nice and quickly. One thing I love about this project, is that as we foray deeper and deeper into user-generated content and customization, we’re discovering new engineering challenges that we haven’t had in our frontends before. As a Software Engineer on Buffer’s team I’ve tackled a long list of fun projects, including Start Page. We recently launched Start Page, a beautiful, flexible, mobile-friendly landing page that you can build in minutes and update in seconds. We've often used Adobe Fonts when designing for our clients, due to the availability of high-quality fonts that can be used for both print and web design.At Buffer, we’re constantly experimenting with ways we can improve our products and try out new ideas. If you're already using this code on your site, it may take a few minutes for these changes to propagate, so it might not show up right away.Ĭhoosing typefaces is an exciting part of a brand design, and Adobe Fonts has plenty of options to choose from. From here, you can check or uncheck the individual fonts, or delete the entire family.

Look for "font family:" declarations in your code to do this. Note: Your developer will need to edit the CSS in order for your new font to show up on the website. Or, if you're working with the Fuel Made team on a custom site design, send the to us, and we'll add it to our code. Once you add all your fonts to the project, copy the and add that code snippet to the tag of your theme. If you have more than one typeface in your design, you can select the "Done" button, and repeat the first 3 steps with a different font family. Once you’re done that, select "Create or add to existing project." This will open a dropdown list of your existing web projects-if you have any-or you can create a new one. A good range is between 4-6 max for your entire web project. ![]() Don’t choose too many weights because the more font files a site has to load the more your web performance will take a hit. This opens a pop-up modal where you can select weights and styles for this typeface. Once you find the font family you need, select "Add to Web Project." Head to and sign into your Creative Cloud account.īrowse the available fonts, or search for a specific typeface. This will help you follow along to create your own.īut if you prefer to read the instructions, all of the steps in the screencast are listed out in this article as well.
