How are Google Fonts used in graphic design?
Google Fonts are all open source, so you can use them for whatever you like. However, they are mostly screen fonts. In other words, they’re mostly designed to look decent on a display.

Do you need Google Fonts for your website?
If you’re part of a large organization, you can probably afford to create your own typefaces – it seems like everyone who’s anyone has their own font these days.

Where do I put Google Fonts in WordPress?
Since WordPress builds pages dynamically, you can’t just put the code that Google generates for you on the home page. If you did this, it would only load your fonts on the home page. Instead, we must tell WordPress that this code should be on the head section of all the pages on your site.
How are fonts served by the Google Fonts API?
Like any other asset, font files have to be downloaded to a site visitor’s computer before they can be displayed. Fonts served by the Google Fonts API are automatically compressed for a faster download, and once downloaded are cached in the browser and reused by any other web page that uses the Google Fonts API.
