# Adding External Fonts

Adding external fonts to your site is a straightforward process that involves linking to a stylesheet containing the web fonts you want to use. This method allows you to easily integrate fonts from external sources with minimal setup.

### 1. Add a New Font

Navigate to the **Fonts** tab under **Kalium -> Typography**, then click on the "**+ Add Font**" button to start adding a new font.

### 3. Add the font URL&#x20;

In the “**Font Stylesheet URL**” field, you need to paste the URL of a stylesheet that includes the web fonts you want to use on your site. This stylesheet should contain `@font-face` rules, which define how the fonts are displayed.&#x20;

For example, if you are adding the Merriweather font directly from Google Fonts, you would use a URL like `https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Merriweather`.&#x20;

This URL links directly to a stylesheet that includes the necessary font declarations, ensuring that the Merriweather font is properly loaded and applied to your site.

### 5. Apply the Font

Decide where you want the font to be applied, such as "Sitewide," "Headings," or "Paragraphs." By default, the font will be applied sitewide. If you want to use different fonts for different sections, you can customize the settings to apply one font to headings and another to paragraphs, or adjust as needed.

### 6. Save Changes

After entering the stylesheet URL, click “**Save Changes**” to apply the font to your site. The font will automatically load from the external source and be available for use.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kaliumtheme.com/typography/fonts/how-to-add-a-font/adding-external-fonts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
