  10. Return to the Webflow Designer tool and paste the code snippet into the “Head Code” or “Footer Code” section in the Custom Code panel.
  11. You can now select your custom Adobe Fonts from the font dropdown menu in Webflow’s Typography section.

Using Custom Fonts

If you have a specific font file that you would like to use, Webflow allows you to upload custom fonts directly to your project. This option gives you complete control over your typography, ensuring that your website stands out from the crowd with a unique visual identity.

Here’s how you can use custom fonts in Webflow:

  2. Select “Fonts” in the Project Settings panel.
  3. In the Fonts panel, click on “Add Font”.
  4. Choose either “Upload Font File” or “Import from Typekit”. If you choose to upload a font file, make sure it is in one of the supported file formats (e.g., .woff, .woff2).
  5. If you selected “Upload Font File”, click on “Choose File” and locate the font file on your computer.

    Once selected, give your font a name for easy identification within Webflow.

  6. If you chose “Import from Typekit”, search for your desired font(s) and click on them to add them to your project. You will need an active Adobe Fonts subscription for this option.
  7. Click on “Save” once you have added your custom font(s).
