How can I enable custom fonts to my theme, entire store?

Topic summary

Adding a custom .ttf font to a Shopify store using the Dawn theme, without an “enable custom font” option in theme settings. The font file was uploaded to Content > Files; attempts to apply it via CSS did not work. The user is okay with potential performance impact and confirms the font works on a different platform (Wix).

Key terms: .ttf (TrueType font, a font file format) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets, used to style web pages). Dawn is Shopify’s default theme, which may not include a built-in toggle for custom fonts.

I have my own .ttf and would love to use it for my shopify store. I have seen shopify stores have their own text but mine doesn’t seem to have an enable button. I can see they have an “enable custom font” button in their theme settings.

I would like to do this also. I have the .ttf file uploaded to content>files and am lost from there.

I have tried the .css code but that did not seem to work.

I am using the Dawn theme.

I am ok if my site runs slow and I know that my file is not corrupted as it worked fine on my wix store.

I do not have a link to my site and I do not wish to share it as I am still working on it.

thanks in advance.
