# Changing the fonts
Material for MkDocs makes it easy to change the typeface of your project
documentation, as it directly integrates with [Google Fonts][1]. Alternatively,
fonts can be custom-loaded if self-hosting is preferred for data privacy reasons
or another destination should be used.
[1]: https://fonts.google.com
## Configuration
### Regular font
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][2] ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: [`Roboto`][3]
The _regular font_ is used for all body copy, headlines, and essentially
everything that does not need to be proportionally spaced. It can be set to any
valid [Google Font][1] with:
``` yaml
theme:
font:
text: Roboto
```
The typeface will be loaded in 300, 400, _400i_ and __700__.

### Proportional font
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][2] ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: [`Roboto Mono`][4]
The _proportional font_ is used for code blocks and can be configured separately.
Just like the regular font, it can be set to any valid [Google Font][1] via
`mkdocs.yml` with:
``` yaml
theme:
font:
code: Roboto Mono
```
The typeface will be loaded in 400.

## Customization
If you want to load fonts from other destinations or don't want to use Google
Fonts for [data privacy][5] reasons, e.g. _due to GDPR_, you may customize
font loading as described below.
### Disabling font loading
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][2] ·
:octicons-mortar-board-24: Difficulty: _easy_
If you want to prevent typefaces from being loaded from Google Fonts and fall
back to system fonts, add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
theme:
font: false
```
### Additional fonts
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][2] ·
:octicons-mortar-board-24: Difficulty: _easy_
If you want to load an (additional) font from another or override
the fallback font, you can use an [additional stylesheet][8] to add the
corresponding `@font-face` definition:
``` css
@font-face {
font-family: "<font>";
src: "...";
}
```
The font can then be applied to specific elements, e.g. only headlines, or
globally to be used as the site-wide regular or proportional font:
=== "Regular font"
``` css
body, input {
font-family: "<font>", -apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
```
=== "Proportional font"
``` css
pre, code, kbd {
font-family: "<font>", SFMono-Regular, Consolas, Menlo, monospace;
}
```
