How to add custom fonts in Shopify

Adding fonts to a Shopify theme is easy, but knowledge of CSS and HTML can be helpful. However, if you follow these steps carefully, your new font should upload within a few minutes

Adding custom fonts to your Shopify theme can be a great way to create a unique look for your website. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the steps of adding Shopify fonts to your theme and adding them to Shogun for use on your Shogun pages.

Fonts are important in any ecommerce business because getting people to read your content is no easy task. On average, users only read about 30% of the words on the page. So every word counts, and user engagement is paramount.

Using attractive fonts can keep users on the page longer, lead them to your content, and hopefully guide them through the buying process. Properly used fonts guide the eye from one place to another in the order you want. Additionally, headlines and ad banners that use bold fonts can draw attention to what you’re promoting.

Why Add Custom Shopify Font to Your Store?

One way to stand out from other stores is to add custom Shopify fonts. This is a great strategy for building your brand and enhancing the aesthetics of your storefront. Differentiate your store with custom fonts.

Choosing the Right Font(s) for Your Store

You should make sure that the font you choose reflects your identity and business. Don’t use a font that’s beautiful but hard to read, as it undercuts the overall value of the content. Avoid using more than three or four different fonts in your store. Too many fonts can give your store a cluttered feel. Also, you want the fonts you choose to work well with each other even on different pages, so don’t choose fonts that are completely different from each other. Instead, choose fonts that complement each other.
