Go to Pages > All Pages. Open a page by clicking the Edit button.
You’ll get the page edit settings in the top-right corner. Since we have the Blocksy theme installed, we can see the option Blocksy Page Settings. You may see this option with a different logo and name if you have a different theme installed.
Find the respective option and click on it.
A new sidebar will open. Click the Page Title option on it. You may get this option with a different name based on your theme.
Come to the Custom tab. Select the Design tab after that. You’ll see font boxes based on the number of headers you have on your page.
You can select a different font for all headings, titles, and text types from each box. You can also change their font size, boldness, and stylization.
Method 03: Change Fonts in the Customize Option
Most WordPress themes have the Customize option available. You can change fonts from here as well. Navigate to Appearance > Customize.
Select the Font or Typography option from the left sidebar. Based on your theme, this option may be named as font or typography.
You’ll get options to set the font style and family differently for every section on your website. Hope you can do the rest.
Thus, you can change fonts on your WordPress website.
