Easy Google Fonts

As explained in WordPress Power Toolkit: Harness AI to build next-level websites

Easy Google Fonts is a WordPress plugin that adds Google Fonts typefaces and typography settings to supported themes.

Easy Google Fonts is a WordPress plugin that expands the typefaces available through a supported theme. It can add more than 1,400 choices and provides extra typography settings under Settings > Easy Google Fonts. section 5.1

Choosing a body font

If a theme does not offer Verdana for body text, Easy Google Fonts can add it. The Twenty Sixteen theme already includes Verdana among its 17 fonts, so the plugin is most useful when a preferred typeface is missing. section 5.1

Before installing it, check these practical considerations:

  • Review privacy implications associated with the plugin. section 5.1
  • Recognize that it has not been kept up to date, although approximately 200,000 active installations and site security measures may reduce the practical risk. section 5.1 section 5.2
  • Consider Fonts Plugin or Google Fonts Typography if maintenance or privacy is a concern. section 5.1
