I would have like to use the fonts Ralleway and Cubano, just like in my logo on the website. Ralleway is one of the default fonts, but not Cubano. Is it possible use a Type Kit font by editing the CSS. I have purchased the Custom Design upgrade with that in mind, but I can’t seem to figure it out…

We no longer support the typekit account integration. If you’d like to change your fonts, you’ll need to purchase a Custom Design upgrade:

P.S. As you have the upgrade all you need now is patience while waiting for Staff help or for help from a Volunteer who assists with CSS editing. Please be patient while waiting.

i like the neo-grotesque Raleway font too!
you have to have it on your comp for it to appear on your browser
you can go here to Google fonts to figure out how to download it (free!)

then you can play around with CSS like this
```
.some_selector {
        ...
        font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
	font-size: ??px;
	line-height: ??px;
	-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
	color: royalblue;
        ...
}
```
hope this helps.

Hi @siebe03, Raleway is available in the Custom Fonts offered here through Custom Design, however Cubano is not. There is no way to add outside fonts here at WordPress.com at this time. If you add the fonts to your computer, then you would be able to see the fonts on your site, but it would require that each visitor also had those fonts on their computer.
