Method 1: Add Custom Fonts to WordPress Using Elementor Custom Fonts Feature

To use the Elementor custom fonts feature, you need to upgrade to Elementor Pro.

Note: The custom font feature was available in the Elementor Lite plan till a few years back, but after the upgrade, it was shifted to Pro users only.

Follow these steps to add custom fonts to your Elementor website:

• Step 1: Open your WP Admin Dashboard, explore the sidebar, and navigate to Elementor >> Custom Fonts.

• Step 2: As soon as you click on the Custom Fonts option, you’ll be redirected to the Custom Fonts page, and there, you have to click on the “Add New” button.

To add a new font, enter your font family name. Here we are naming it ‘Elementor font 1.’

Next, click the “Add Font Variation” button below the font title area.

• Step 3: Once you hit the font variation button, you’ll get options to manage & customize your font files.

You can manage your font files according to the font Weight, Style (normal, italic, & oblique), and Font Files like WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, SVG, and EOT.

• Step 4: Download a free font or purchase one from the internet.

There are a lot of free & paid resources which offer awesome custom fonts compatible with WordPress and Elementor websites.

Where to Find Free Custom Fonts?

You might be questioning where I can find the free custom fonts.

Many free websites offer free custom fonts, such as fonts.com, Google Fonts, Typekit, and more.

Check the website’s authenticity before downloading or purchasing a font.

• Step 5: Once you’ve downloaded a font of your choice, upload the file in any of the five font variations available and hit the publish button.

However, we recommend you upload your font file in all five formats for better results to let your content load smoothly in any system or browser.

Remember not to upload more than one font file at a time in all different variations; otherwise, it may slow down your page.

And we’re done! Our font is now added to Elementor and is ready to be used.

• Step 6: Open the Elementor editor page, and in the typography section, search for your newly created font, i.e., ‘Elementor font 1.’

Finally, the ‘Elementor font 1’ we’ve just added is ready to be used.
