Are you looking for WordPress typography plugins to improve your website design?
Your font choice plays an essential role in your web design. Improving your website typography makes your site easier to read and offers visitors a better experience.
In this article, we will show you some of the best WordPress typography plugins you can use with your WordPress site.
Why Is Typography Important for Your WordPress Site?
Your website typography is a very important part of your overall design. Choosing beautiful and easy-to-read fonts will increase your website engagement and boost the time your users spend on your site.
Many of the best WordPress themes come with access to Google Fonts and allow you to tweak the typography to suit your needs.
There are built-in settings within the post and page editor that give you more control over your fonts and layouts.
However, there’s a lot more you can do with your typography, like add subtitles, use drop caps, include footnotes, let users resize fonts, and much more.
By choosing the right WordPress plugins, you can improve the typography on your WordPress website without writing any code.

Thank you for the help, I need to change the color of the font on my new website.
Peter says
I have installed Easy Google Fonts and most of it works fine as far as the styles and positioning go but strangely nothing happens to the main font color in appearances even though the background color works, which is something I don’t really need anyway. Changing the color of the paragraph works fine too.
I am using the Simple Catch Pro theme.
Could you please advise, I would like to move on from this.
Thanks
Peter
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Peter,
We are not sure but it could be some other CSS rule in your theme’s stylesheet or settings overriding Easy Google Fonts settings.
