CSS Google Fonts

CSS Google Fonts is a popular method for adding custom fonts to a website. It provides access to a wide range of fonts that are not available on the user's system. Google Fonts makes it easy to use and integrate these fonts into a website. In this article, we will discuss how to use Google Fonts in CSS.

To start using Google Fonts, go to the Google Fonts website and browse the available fonts. You can use the search bar to search for a specific font or use the filters to narrow down the selection. Once you have found a font that you like, click on the "+" icon to add it to your selection.

After you have selected the font(s) that you want to use, click on the "Family Selected" tab. This tab will provide you with the code that you need to add to your CSS file to use the selected fonts.

To add the selected fonts to your CSS, copy the code provided in the "Family Selected" tab and paste it into the <head> section of your HTML document. 

Here is an example of how to add a Google Font to your CSS:


@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans');
body {
 font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}


In this example, we are importing the "Open Sans" font from Google Fonts and setting it as the font for the body of the HTML document. The @import rule is used to import the font from Google Fonts.

Alternatively, you can use the <link> tag to import the font into your HTML file:


<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" rel="stylesheet">


Then, in your CSS file, you can use the font like this:


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


Once you have added the font to your CSS, you can use it just like any other font. For example, you can set the font-size, font-weight, line-height, etc. properties for the selected font.

Google Fonts is a great resource for web designers and developers. It allows you to easily add custom fonts to your website, without having to worry about the compatibility issues that may arise from using non-standard fonts. With Google Fonts, you can choose from a wide range of fonts, which will make your website look more professional and attractive.
