Google Helps Webmasters with Fonts

The Google Font Directory lets you browse all the fonts available via the Google Font API. All fonts in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and served by Google servers.

The Google Font API helps you add web fonts to any web page.

Benefits of the Google Font API include:

  • A choice of high quality open source fonts.
  • Works in most browsers.
  • Extremely easy to use.

Google Font Directory

To give developers a choice of high-quality fonts when using the Font API, we have created the Google Font Directory. There you can browse our catalog of available fonts, learn about the font designers who created them, and copy the code required to use them on your web page.

The fonts in the directory are all released under open source licenses; you can use them on any non-commercial or commercial project.

Applying a font is easy: just add a special stylesheet link to your web page, then use the font in a CSS style.
