Kadence
Your fonts appear in the Kadence theme’s Customizer and in the Kadence Blocks font picker, the same way Kadence’s own Custom Fonts add-on adds fonts. Either one works without the other. Checked against the Kadence theme 1.5.2 and Kadence Custom Fonts 1.1.3 source.
Kadence theme#
- Go to Appearance → Customize → General → Typography.
- Open a font setting, for example Base Font or Heading Font.
- Your fonts are in the Custom Font group, with their weights and italics.
- Click Publish.
Kadence Blocks#
- Select a Kadence block, such as Advanced Heading or Advanced Text.
- Open its typography settings and the Font Family list.
- Your fonts are listed with the weights and styles you added.
Fallback fonts#
Kadence prints only the font name in its CSS. Nahnu Fonts adds your font’s fallback (for example 'Inter', sans-serif), so text stays readable while the font loads.
Google Fonts switch#
With Stop page builders loading Google Fonts on (the default):
- The Kadence theme and Kadence Blocks stop loading Google Fonts on your site.
- The Customizer stops offering and previewing Google fonts.
- Exception: if Kadence’s own Load Google Fonts Locally is on, the theme keeps loading its fonts, because they already come from your site, not Google.
Settings and blocks that already use a Google font keep its name. Add that family in Nahnu Fonts to serve it from your site.
Good to know#
- Kadence Blocks’ own source wasn’t available for checking. The hooks it uses are confirmed by the Kadence theme and the Custom Fonts add-on, which use the same ones.
- The block editor’s Typography panel also lists your fonts. See Block editor and Site Editor.
Turn it off#
Settings → Where fonts appear → Use with Kadence. One switch covers the theme and Kadence Blocks.
