Fonts

Good typography is most of what makes a website look professional. NijeesWeb gives you three levels of control.

1. The site font#

Settings › General Settings › Site Font Family — the font used across the site unless something else is chosen. Pick from the list.

2. Body and heading fonts in Theme#

Design › Theme › Typography sets the Body font and the Heading font, plus the Base size and Line height. Choose from the suggested fonts. See Theme.

3. A font for one element#

Headings, buttons, forms, blurbs and blog lists have their own Font Family in their Design tab, with Default Site Font as the first option.

Only the fonts you use are loaded#

Your website loads only the font families it actually uses. That keeps pages fast, so you don't have to worry about picking too many — but for a calm, premium look, two families are plenty: one for headings, one for text.

Hindi, Tamil and other scripts#

Phones and computers already include good fonts for Devanagari, Tamil, Bengali and other Indian scripts, and use them automatically for text in those languages. Your Latin-script font is used for English words alongside.

Any other web font#

With Settings › CSS & JS you can load any web font your licence allows — from Google Fonts or from your font provider — and apply it with CSS. See Custom CSS & JavaScript.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Marcellus&display=swap');

h1, h2, h3 { font-family: 'Marcellus', Georgia, serif; }

Put the @import line at the very top of your CSS, before any other rule.
