Fontify lets you upload and apply custom fonts to your WordPress site easily.
With Fontify, you can:
– Upload .woff or .woff2 font files directly from the admin panel.

Once installed, visit Settings > Custom Font to configure your font.
Simply upload a WOFF or WOFF2 file, type a font name (e.g., “MyFont”), and you’re done.
This plugin is especially useful for branding, RTL websites, or localization needs.
