Adding a New Font to Your Template

Unzip the font file and rename the file for better readability. e.g: You can rename the .woff file name as the same folder name, like gaspar_regular.woff

Copy all .woff font files to TEMPLATE_DIR/fonts folder, like this

Create your custom style sheet file, custom.scss, and add it to TEMPLATE_DIR/scss/

Add the following to the custom SCSS file:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Gaspar Regular';
    src: url('../fonts/gaspar_regular.woff') format('woff');
}
@font-face {
    font-family: 'Gaspar Italic';
    src: url('../fonts/gaspar_italic.woff') format('woff');
}
@font-face {
    font-family: 'Gaspar Bold';
    src: url('../fonts/gaspar_bold.woff') format('woff');
}
@font-face {
    font-family: 'Gaspar Bold Italic';
    src: url('../fonts/gaspar_bolditalic.woff') format('woff');
}

Font Usage

You can set the new font face for the body or headings like so

body {
    font-family: 'Gaspar Regular';
}
.uk-h1, .uk-h2, .uk-h3, .uk-h4, .uk-h5, .uk-h6, .uk-heading-2xlarge, .uk-heading-large, .uk-heading-medium, .uk-heading-small, .uk-heading-xlarge, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    font-family: 'Gaspar Bold';
}
