How to Use Custom Google Fonts with Next.js and Tailwind CSS

In the world of web development, typography plays a crucial role in enhancing the user experience. With the rise of frameworks like Next.js and styling tools like Tailwind CSS, incorporating custom fonts has become more streamlined but can also present challenges. One common problem developers face is successfully integrating Google Fonts into their Next.js applications while using Tailwind CSS. If you’ve found yourself asking, “Why isn’t my custom Google Font applying correctly in my Next.js app?” you’re not alone! In this guide, we’ll walk through how to properly implement Google Fonts within this tech stack.

Understanding the Problem

When using Google Fonts in a Next.js application together with Tailwind CSS, you might follow the steps to include the font in your project but find that your styling does not reflect the expected results. This can often be due to incorrect syntax or misconfiguration in the files responsible for setting your fonts.

Common Mistakes Include:

Not using the correct quotations around the font name in your Tailwind configuration.

Forgetting to include the font in the appropriate location in your _document.js file.

Steps to Implement Google Fonts

Let’s break down the steps to correctly set up Google Fonts in your Next.js project using Tailwind CSS:

Step 1: Include the Google Font

You need to add a link to the Google Font in the _document.js file. Here’s how this file might look:

In the Head section, we added a link to load the Google Font we want to use.

Step 2: Configure Tailwind CSS

Next, you will set up your Tailwind CSS configuration, specifically in the tailwind.config.js file. This file helps define your theme and customizations, including your font families. Here’s the corrected configuration you should use:

Important Note:

Make sure to use single quotes surrounding the font name within the font family configuration. This is crucial as it ensures proper parsing of the string literals, preventing issues where the font does not apply.

Step 3: Using the Custom Font in Your Components

With the configurations in place, you can now use your custom Google Font in your components. For instance, if you want to apply the custom font to a heading, you can do so as shown below:

In the above code snippet, we use the font-press class to apply the Google Font to the h2 element.

Conclusion

Integrating Google Fonts into your Next.js application while using Tailwind CSS doesn't have to be daunting. By following the outlined steps—ensuring correct quotations in your configuration file and including the font link in your document—you can achieve the desired typography with ease.
