What it does
Brand typography often depends on a specific typeface that the theme does not offer out of the box. Adding it by hand usually means writing @font-face rules and editing CSS. This plugin handles that part for you. You upload the generated webfont files, and the fonts become available inside the Kadence theme options panel, where you can assign them to headings, body text and other areas just like the built-in choices.
The plugin also covers Google Fonts. Instead of loading them from an outside server, you can host them locally on your own site, which cuts external requests and can help with privacy compliance. If you only have a single font file, the plugin works with webfont files made by font generators, so you can convert it first. It fits sites running the Kadence theme, and the listed requirements include the Kadence theme and Kadence Blocks.
Best for
- Sites built on the Kadence theme
- Brands with their own custom typeface
- Site owners who want Google Fonts hosted locally

Questions about Kadence Custom Fonts
Do I need the Kadence theme to use this plugin?

Can I use Google Fonts without loading them from Google's servers?
