How can I add custom fonts to the Symmetry theme?

Store Design
, , ,

Topic summary

A user uploaded custom fonts to their Symmetry theme’s assets folder but cannot select them from the font library in the theme editor.

Proposed Solution:
Multiple respondents suggest adding CSS code to the theme.liquid file, specifically above the </head> tag, using @font-face declarations to properly register the custom fonts.

Implementation Steps:

  1. Navigate to Online Stores > Themes > Actions > Edit code
  2. Open theme.liquid file
  3. Insert @font-face CSS code above the closing </head> tag
  4. Reference the uploaded font files (both .woff and .woff2 formats recommended)

Follow-up Issues:

  • One user successfully added the code but the custom font isn’t loading—defaults to Times New Roman instead when called via Custom CSS in content blocks
  • Questions remain about how to properly reference the custom font family in various theme sections like headers and navigation

Status: The discussion remains open with troubleshooting ongoing for proper font implementation and referencing.

Hello, I have added my custom fonts into my assets in the theme editor but they don’t show in the library. I can’t select them. Can someone help? I am using the Symmetry theme.

Hi @oneshot
You have uploaded the fonts to assets but to fetch the fonts you need to add below CSS code to theme.liquid

Thanks for the hint; how can I then reference this font family in the headers or various parts of the theme? (base_font, navigation h1..)

Thanks @PageFly-Richard so I added this - then called it out in the Custom CSS in the content block, my css is working in that the font does change, but to Times New Roman - so somewhere it is not pulling in the custom font. I have both .woff and .woff2 added this is the custom css I have:

.text-overlay__title {
  font-family: “landry-gothic” !important;
}

And this is what I added right above

Any ideas?
