Custom Fonts: How to Add to a Project

11min

By default, Google Fonts are available in Taptop. You can also add custom fonts to your project to create a unique website design.

Basic rules for working with fonts

1) Custom fonts are only available on paid Hosting Basic and Team Pro plans.

2) Before downloading a font, read its license agreement and make sure you have permission to use it. The site owner is responsible for the license.

3) Acceptable font formats:

  • ttf — TrueType Font
  • otf — OpenType Font
  • woff, woff2 — Web Open Font Format
  • eot — Embedded OpenType
  • svg — SVG fonts

4) You can only upload one font file at a time. If a font has multiple types (styles), you need to upload each one separately. For example, if you need two font styles, Regular and Bold, you need to repeat the steps for uploading the font for each of them.

How to load a custom font into a project

To add fonts, you can select any element for which text settings are available. Once loaded, the fonts will be available for all elements in the project.

Once you have selected an element on the canvas, follow these steps:

1) In the Design panel, in the Text section, open the drop-down list with fonts.

In order to combine all of its styles into one font, you need to load the style files and specify the same name for them in the Font family field. Then, one family will be displayed in the list of user fonts, and when you select it, all of its styles will be available.

  • Font weight - select the option that matches your font:
    • 100 (thin)
    • 200 (extra light)
    • 300 (light)
    • 400 (normal)
    • 500 (average)

Applying a custom font to a portion of text in a block

If you want to style not the entire text, but individual words or phrases, you need to use additional text styles.

To do this, select the desired part of the text - the Inline text settings will open on the right panel.
