Hwo do I change the font on all my buttons in Dawn theme?

Retired Boards Appdev Merchandising

Topic summary

Goal: change the font on all buttons across a Shopify store using the Dawn theme. The custom font is already uploaded and works elsewhere; the author seeks step-by-step, non-coder guidance.

Proposed solution: add custom CSS in the theme’s base.css (stylesheet). Target the button selector(s) and set the desired font via font-family, e.g., .button { font-family: sans-serif !important; }. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) controls site styling; base.css is the main theme CSS file.

Gaps/clarifications: The reply doesn’t specify the exact Dawn button selectors (there may be variants) or how to reference the uploaded custom font’s exact font-family name. It also doesn’t detail how to locate and edit base.css within the theme editor.

Status: One concise suggestion provided; no confirmation of success from the original poster. The thread appears open with unresolved implementation specifics.

I am hoping someone can help me! I want to change the font on all my buttons to a customized font. I have already uploaded the font and have been able to use it on everything else on my site. I am just having issues finding where or how to change the font on all the buttons on my site.

I am sure I will need to do some sort of coding for it, and if that is the case please know that I am not a coder and do not understand it! However, if you can literally tell me step by step where I need to go and what the code is then I can certainly do it.

I am using the Dawn theme.

Thank you in advance!

Add custom CSS to base.css and copy the button class and then apply the custom font to buttons

For example if the button class is button then,

.button {
font-family: sans-serif! important;
}
