Assistance installing a variable google font

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://wedge-sealion-b28m.squarespace.com/

I have attempted to install the font Fraunces on a site I am testing. I did this by adding some code in the Custom CSS block and it works some of the time. It shows correctly in headlines but I cannot get it to show up in paragraphs. Similarly it shows up correctly in chrome but not in safari.

The code I used, noted below,  was placed in the custom CSS panel although I see some folks suggesting it is better in "managing custom files" tab.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Fraunces:ital,opsz,wght@0,9..144,300;0,9..144,400;0,9..144,500;1,9..144,300;1,9..144,400;1,9..144,500&display=swap');
@font-face{font-family: 'Fraunces', serif;}
h1, p1 {font-family: 'Fraunces', serif;}

 

I am not 100% sure I was able to grab the correct information from the import section of google, primarily because the interface of google fonts has changed quite a bit since most of the online tutorials I could find. I suspect this could also be complicated by the variable nature of the fonts. 

The password to get into the site is:

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello tuanphan! Thanks for the assist.

Is this what you are asking for?

https://fonts.google.com/?query=fraunces

remove @import code & add this code to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Header

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fraunces:ital,opsz,wght@0,9..144,300;0,9..144,400;0,9..144,500;1,9..144,300;1,9..144,400;1,9..144,500&family=Koulen&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

then add this to Design > Custom CSS

h1, p.sqsrte-large {
font-family: 'Fraunces', serif;
font-family: 'Koulen', cursive;
}
