- A [Gatsby site](/docs/quick-start)
- The [Gatsby CLI](/docs/gatsby-cli/) installed
- Choosing a font package from [the typefaces project](https://github.com/KyleAMathews/typefaces)
- A chosen font package from [Fontsource](https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource)

### Directions

1. Run `npm install typeface-your-chosen-font`, replacing `your-chosen-font` with the name of the font you want to install from [the typefaces project](https://github.com/KyleAMathews/typefaces).
This example shows how to set up the [Open Sans](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans) font. If you have a different Google Font you want to use, you can find the corresponding package in [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=fontsource) or the [packages directory in the Fontsource repository](https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource/tree/master/packages).

An example to load the popular 'Source Sans Pro' font would be: `npm install typeface-source-sans-pro`.
1. Run `npm install fontsource-open-sans` to download the necessary package files.

2. Add `import "typeface-your-chosen-font"` to a layout template, page component, or `gatsby-browser.js`.
2. Then within your app entry file or site component, import the font package. It is recommended you import it via the layout template (`layout.js`). However, importing via page component (`index.js`), or `gatsby-browser.js` are viable alternatives.

```jsx:title=src/components/layout.js
import "typeface-your-chosen-font"
import "fontsource-open-sans" // Defaults to weight 400 with all styles included.
```

If you wish to select a particular weight or style, you may specify it by changing the import path.

```jsx:title=src/components/layout.js
import "fontsource-open-sans/500.css" // Weight 500 with all styles included.
import "fontsource-open-sans/900-normal.css" // Select either normal or italic.
```

**Note**: The range of supported weights and styles a font may support is shown in each package's README file.

3. Once it's imported, you can reference the font name in a CSS stylesheet, CSS Module, or CSS-in-JS.

```css:title=src/components/layout.css
body {
font-family: "Your Chosen Font";
font-family: "Open Sans";
}
```

_NOTE: So for the above example, the relevant CSS declaration would be `font-family: 'Source Sans Pro';`_

### Using Google Fonts

The fastest way to get started using Google Fonts is by choosing a font from [the typefaces project](https://github.com/KyleAMathews/typefaces). This example shows how you can add Open Sans to your project.
The fastest way to get started using Google Fonts is by choosing a font from [Fontsource](https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource).

First, install the typeface package with npm:

```bash
npm install --save typeface-open-sans
```
1. Run `npm install fontsource-open-sans` to download the necessary package files.

Or with yarn:
2. Then within your app entry file or site component, import the font package. It is recommended you import it via the layout template (`layout.js`). However, importing via page component (`index.js`), or `gatsby-browser.js` are viable alternatives.

```bash
yarn add typeface-open-sans
```jsx:title=src/components/layout.js
import "fontsource-open-sans" // Defaults to weight 400 with all styles included.
```

In your `layout.js` file, import the typeface.
If you wish to select a particular weight or style, you may specify it by changing the import path.

```jsx:title=src/components/layout.js
import "typeface-open-sans"
import "fontsource-open-sans/500.css" // Weight 500 with all styles included.
import "fontsource-open-sans/900-normal.css" // Select either normal or italic.
```

Next, add the typeface name to the appropriate place in your CSS. In this case, you will override the `body` element's `font-family` default values.
**Note**: The range of supported weights and styles a font may support is shown in each package's README file.

3. Once it's imported, you can reference the font name in a CSS stylesheet, CSS Module, or CSS-in-JS.

```css:title=src/components/layout.css
body {
color: hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0.8);
// highlight-next-line
font-family: "Open Sans", georgia, serif;
font-weight: normal;
word-wrap: break-word;
font-kerning: normal;
font-family: "Open Sans";
}
```
