Typography

  • How the font picker works — Four grouped controls, three kinds of font to choose from, and the rule that an empty field changes nothing.
  • Body font — The face, size and line height the reader actually spends their time in.
  • Heading font — The face, weight, letter case, tracking and line height of every h1 to h6 — and why there is no size field.
  • Navigation font — The header menu's face, size, weight, tracking and case — including the copy in the mobile drawer.
  • Site title font — Making a wordmark out of the site title, without opening a graphics program.
  • Add a custom font — Installing a family through the WordPress Font Library and picking it in Stoat — and what to do below WordPress 7.0.
