Create custom fonts

tip

Hydrogen 2.0 is out now. These archival Hydrogen 1.0 docs are provided only to assist developers during their upgrade process. Please migrate to Hydrogen 2.0 as soon as possible.

If you want to use a font that's not included in Shopify's font library, then you can use fonts from third-party solutions such as Typekit or create custom fonts.

Create a custom font

  1. Add font files inside the /public folder. For example, add font files to /public/fonts.

  2. Create a .css file that loads the local custom font and reference the font with url():

    /* custom-font.css */

    /* fraunces-regular - latin */
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'Fraunces';
    font-style: normal;
    font-display: swap;
    font-weight: 400;
    src: url('/fonts/fraunces-v22-latin-regular.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
    src: local(''),
    url('/fonts/fraunces-v22-latin-regular.eot?#iefix')
    format('embedded-opentype'),
    /* IE6-IE8 */ url('/fonts/fraunces-v22-latin-regular.woff2') format('woff2'),
    /* Super Modern Browsers */ url('/fonts/fraunces-v22-latin-regular.woff')
    format('woff'),
    /* Modern Browsers */ url('/fonts/fraunces-v22-latin-regular.ttf')
    format('truetype'),
    /* Safari, Android, iOS */
    url('/fonts/fraunces-v22-latin-regular.svg#Fraunces') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
    }
  1. Import your .css file into index.html or any desired client component.
