Google Fonts Integration

Method 1: Specify Font by Name

Apply font styles by directly specifying Google font names in prompts. Steps:
  1. Clearly specify font name in prompts
  2. Refresh the page to confirm the font is displayed correctly
Example Prompt:
Use Playfair Display font as the font style for the first subtitle
Use Google Fonts direct links to import and apply fonts. Steps:
  1. Visit Google Fonts to get font links
  2. Provide complete font link address in prompts
Example Prompt:
Add this Google font link https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Dancing+Script and apply this font to the third subtitle

Best Practice Recommendations

Font Selection Strategy

  1. Prioritize Readability - Ensure selected fonts have good readability across various screen sizes
  2. Maintain Brand Consistency - Choose fonts that match the overall design style of the project
  3. Consider Loading Performance - Google Fonts affect page loading speed, use multiple fonts cautiously
  4. Fallback Font Strategy - Set Web Safe Fonts as fallback options for Google Fonts

Technical Implementation Points

  • Use React’s useEffect hook to manage font loading
  • Set appropriate fallback font stacks for custom fonts
  • Consider user experience optimization for font loading states
Through proper use of Web Safe Fonts and Google Fonts, you can create professional-looking interface designs with excellent user experience for your Nextd projects.
