Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Typography Stylist

For OpenType features such as stylistic sets and swashes, the font must contain them. Many professional typefaces do. Many free fonts have few features or none. Letter spacing, line height, size, and weight work with any font. If a font does not have a feature, the feature has no effect.
Yes. Some Google Fonts have OpenType features. Read the font’s specimen page to see which ones.
Yes. You can add fonts in four ways: Upload a webfont kit from MyFonts, Font Squirrel, or a different provider on the Custom Fonts tab. Connect Adobe Fonts (Typekit). Paste the embed code of your project. Define a custom font that your theme, a different plugin, or a CDN (such as Google Fonts) loads. The font then shows in the editor’s font list. Use a WordPress Font Library font (WordPress 6.5+) from the editor’s font list. The plugin can also apply OpenType features to a font that your site already loads, without a selection in the font list. The previews on the settings page work only for fonts that you upload or connect through the plugin.
Go to Settings → Typography Stylist → Custom Fonts. Open “Add Font”, then open “Upload Font Kit”. Click “Choose ZIP File” and select your webfont kit ZIP. Click “Upload Font Kit”. The plugin reads the font names from the kit. Kits from MyFonts and Font Squirrel, and font downloads from Google Fonts, all work. The ZIP does not need a stylesheet. If the ZIP has only font files, the plugin reads the metadata of each font and makes the @font-face CSS. For a variable font, the CSS includes the weight range. The server cannot read WOFF2 metadata. For a ZIP with only WOFF2 files, the plugin gets the family and the weight from the file names, and a warning asks you to check them. The plugin also finds the weights that each font has, and checks only those weights in “Available Font Weights”. You can change the checkboxes at any time.
Go to Settings → Typography Stylist → Custom Fonts. Open “Add Font”, then open “Add Adobe Fonts Project”. Paste the embed code of your Adobe Fonts project (the <link> tag) into “Adobe Fonts Embed Code”. The older <script> embed code also works. In “Font Family Names”, enter the font family names from your project, with commas between them. This field is necessary. Click “Add Adobe Fonts Project”. Make sure that your domain is authorized in your Adobe Fonts project settings. The fonts load from Adobe’s servers.
Go to Settings → Typography Stylist → Custom Fonts. Open “Add Font”, then open “Add Custom Font Definition”. In “Font Name”, enter a display name for the font. In “CSS Font Family”, enter the exact CSS font-family value, for example 'Playfair Display', serif. You can include fallback fonts in this value. Click “Add Custom Font”. The font shows in the block editor’s font list. The plugin does not load the font. The settings page cannot preview features for it.
Yes. Click the name of a font on the Custom Fonts tab to open its settings. Enter the fallback fonts in “Fallback Fonts (optional)”, with commas between them. The browser uses them if the main font does not load. Content refers to a font through a CSS variable, so the change applies to existing content too.
When you delete a font, you can choose a replacement font. Content that used the deleted font then shows the replacement. You can manage these replacements on the Replacement Fonts tab. Use this when you change fonts for a rebrand.
Set the typography of some text in either editor. Click “Save Current Settings as Style” and give the style a name. Select other text. To apply the style in a heading or paragraph, click “Browse styles…” and pick the style. In a Typography Stylist block, pick the style from the Paragraph Style list. To style a whole Paragraph or Heading block, open Paragraph Style in the block sidebar and click “Browse styles…”. The style goes into the block’s “Additional CSS class(es)” field as typost-styled typost-ps-N. Do not remove those two classes by hand; use “Detach Style” instead. To change a style everywhere, change the settings on text that uses the style and click “Update Style”. The style browser shows 24 styles at a time. A button under the list shows the next styles. To base a style on another style, click “Edit” on the style in Settings → Typography Stylist → Paragraph Styles and choose a style in “Based on”. The style then uses that style’s value for every setting it does not set itself, and follows later changes to it. The card marks each value as “Inherited” or “Override”, and “Reset to Base” in the Edit form removes all overrides. When you delete a style, the styles based on it keep their look.
Yes. See the Accessibility section in the description for the two-copy pattern and the word-boundary notice. Settings → Typography Stylist → Accessibility has these options: Disable Word Boundary Warning: Turns off the notice about styles on part of a word. Each Typography Stylist block also has an Accessibility panel in its sidebar. There, choose the class that hides the plain heading: visually-hidden, sr-only, screen-reader-text, or your own class.
