# Use custom fonts

### Google Fonts

Adding a Google font is just like when you do it for websites:

1. Go to <https://fonts.google.com/>
2. Pick a font.
3. Select the Styles needed
4. Copy the link code and insert into your `<head>` section of the [Base](/template/base.md).
5. Start using it in your design, by copying the CSS rules for the font-family into your CSS in the various places you want to use it in your [Base](/template/base.md) and [Blocks](/template/blocks.md).

### Custom hosted fonts

Adding a Custom hosted font, is very similar, however Alpaco offers to host it for you:

1. Open your Alpaco Account
2. Navigate to *Assets Manager* in the top menu
3. Upload your font where it says "*Drop files here or click here to upload*"
4. When a font is uploaded it will be indicated with a "Aa" icon.
5. Click the font that was uploaded and insert it your `<head>` section of the [**Base**](/template/base.md) using the *@fontface* method of declaration.&#x20;
6. Start using it in your design, by copying the CSS rules for the font-family into your CSS in the various places you want to use it in your [**Base**](/template/base.md) and [**Blocks**](/template/blocks.md).
7.
