Add More Fonts to the Typography block
After you’ve uploaded your fonts, they will instantly be displayed. You can add more fonts to the block by selecting it and clicking the “+” symbol. You can also move it up and down between other elements on the page by clicking the arrows. If you wish to delete the block, click the red trash symbol.
Organize Your Fonts
