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-family: "Libre Franklin", "Helvetica Neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
}
We are going to replace it with the default system font.
In you WordPress site, go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and paste this code
body, button, input, select, textarea {
font-family: system-ui;
}
Appart from them font-family, there are other font-properties available:
- font-style: normal or italic;
- font-weight: 300 (light), 400 (regular), 500 (medium), 700 (bold);
For example this is the code make an element’s text semibold and cursive:
#my-element {
font-family: system-ui;
font-weight: 500;
font-style: italic;
}
