I’m working in the Shopify “Shapes” theme and added custom fonts for headings and body text as instructed in the theme documentation: https://docs.switchthemes.co/shapes/advanced/custom-font.html#apply-the-font

Unfortunately, the fonts I chose are not showing up on mobile. I am familiar with HTML/CSS but not Liquid, so I’m not sure what I’m missing. I have no idea how to get the fonts to show up on mobile as well.
