Typography

2 min read Updated Sep 2026 Polestar

Typography settings control the fonts and colors of the theme. They are at AppearanceCustomizeTheme SettingsTypography. Each font list has a Standard Fonts group and a Google Fonts group. A font from the Google Fonts group loads from Google servers. To host fonts yourself, see Load Fonts Locally Instead of Google Fonts.
