Saola Animate provides users with three sets of fonts in which Google fonts are supposed to bring great advantages:

  • They are freely accessible to everyone to use, redistribute, and customize.
  • Downloaded fonts are cached in the browser and reused by any other webpages using them, making the web faster. 
  • They are supported in all major browsers and a wide range of mobile devices.

Let’s keep reading this tutorial to learn about using Google fonts in Saola Animate 3. 

This tutorial covers:
