How to Use Google Fonts
Add this to your HTML <head>:
<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=Inter:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
Then use in CSS:
body {
font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;
}
Pro tip: Only load the weights you actually use. Each weight adds to page load time.
