Frequently Asked Questions

How do custom fonts impact page speed?

Every font file (.woff2) adds about 20-50KB of data transfer. Loading multiple weights (e.g., Light, Regular, SemiBold, Bold) or italic styles multiplies this payload, causing render blocks and cumulative layout shifts.

What is font-display swap?

The `font-display: swap` CSS descriptor instructs the browser to immediately render text using a fallback system font while the custom font is downloading, preventing Invisible Text flashes (FOIT).
