How Do I Add Custom Fonts to Navigation Squarespace?

Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 7:44 pm

There are two ways to add custom fonts to your navigation Squarespace: by using the Custom CSS option or by using an External CSS file.

The Custom CSS Option:

Adding custom fonts to your navigation Squarespace through the Custom CSS option is quick and easy. All you need to do is add the following code to your Custom CSS:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'YourFontName';
    src: url('YourFontURL');
}

#navigation a {
    font-family: 'YourFontName', sans-serif;
}

Be sure to replace 'YourFontName' with the actual name of your chosen font, and 'YourFontURL' with the URL where your font is located.

PRO TIP: Adding custom fonts to your Squarespace navigation can be a great way to add a personal touch to your website. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you start.

First, custom fonts can slow down your website if they are not optimized for web use. This means that you should check with the font provider to make sure that the font you want to use is designed for web use.

Second, not all browsers support all fonts. This means that some visitors to your website may not see the custom font you've added to your navigation if their browser doesn't support it.

Finally, adding too many custom fonts to your Squarespace navigation can make your website look cluttered and difficult to navigate. If you're going to add custom fonts, be sure to use them sparingly and only add them to key elements like your navigation.

The External CSS File Option:

You can also add custom fonts to your navigation Squarespace by using an External CSS file. To do this, first create a new CSS file and upload it to your web server. Then, add the following code to your file:

@font-face { 
    font-family: 'YourFontName'; 
    src: url('YourFontURL'); 
} 

#navigation a { 
    font-family: 'YourFontName', sans-serif; 
} 

Finally, link this CSS file from within the head tags of your HTML document. Be sure to replace 'YourFontName' with the actual name of your chosen font, and 'YourFontURL' with the URL where your font is located.

Conclusion: Adding custom fonts to your navigation Squarespace is quick and easy, and can be done through either the Custom CSS option or by using an External CSS file.
