Overview

System Fonts enqueues a stylesheet that lets you use the native font on each operating system and defines a system-ui css @font-face that you can use on the customizer, your theme’s settings or your own code.

Usage example

The Twenty Seventeen theme uses this css selector for the body text:

body, button, input, select, textarea {

  • font-style: normal or italic;
  • font-weight: 300 (light), 400 (regular), 500 (medium), 700…
