Fonts available through Premium WordPress Templates

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there – I would like to know what fonts are available through WordPress’ Premium Templates. Are they the same as what are available through the Free templates, or are there additional?

    The site I need help with is [visible only to staff] (email visible only to moderators and staff).

    Hi there,

    The WordPress.com Premium plan doesn’t include additional fonts. While you get access to custom CSS (which lets you modify font size/color etc on various theme elements), additional fonts are not activated with the WordPress.com Premium plan.

    However, with the WordPress.com Business plan, you can use plugins to import/use more custom fonts on your site.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi there @tropianoproperties, Thank you for asking this question!

    I spent some time looking at free and premium themes earlier today and what I found is that if the fonts are selected in the Customizer, at least on the 2 (of 100*) free and 4 (of 84*) premium themes I checked, the same fonts are available. You can see these fonts in the Customizer on the free Twenty-Twenty theme. https://wordpress.com/theme/twentytwenty

    However, if the theme you choose changes fonts using Global Styles, like Hever, the available fonts are a bit different. Apparently, none of the current Premium themes use Global Styles. https://wordpress.com/themes/premium/filter/global-styles

    Themes checked:
    Hever (Free) – Global Styles
    Twenty-Twenty (Free) – Customizer
    Editor (Free) – Customizer
    Melody (Premium) – Customizer
    Olsen (Premium) – Customizer
    Zuki (Premium) – Customizer
    Rosalie (Premium) – Customizer

    If there is a specific Premium theme you’re wondering about, let me know and I’ll be happy to check if it is an exception to the rule.

    *For numbers, I referred to the Themes Showcase in a Private browsing window so that none of my active sites were involved.

    Sorry, that should have read “3 (of 100*) free…” and not 2.
