How to Add Non-Standard Font to Your Blog or Website

The standard font on a website usually Verdana, sans-serif, Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Times, serif and Tahoma. But if you need your blog design look better you can use non standard font to your blog.

Can you add a non-standard fonts on our blog? Yes, you can add non-standard font like the “Kaffeesatz” font to your blog or your website. Only Kaffeesatz font can be added? No, you can add any non-standard font to your blog. There are two easy methods to add non-standard font to a website, using “Google web fonts” and using “font kit” from fontsquirrel.
