Web Font Loader is a JavaScript library that gives developers added control when loading linked web fonts via @font-face. It provides a common interface for loading fonts from Google Fonts, Typekit, Fonts.com, Fontdeck, or self-hosted sources, with standard events to control the loading experience.
Use cases
- load Google Fonts with custom control over the loading experience
- load Typekit fonts asynchronously on a web page
- control FOUT/FOIT by reacting to font loading events
- load fonts from multiple providers with one interface
- set timeouts for font loading
- load self-hosted web fonts with event callbacks
When to choose
- you need fine-grained control over web font loading and rendering states
- you load fonts from multiple providers and want a unified API
- you want to avoid invisible text while fonts load using CSS class events
When to avoid
- you only need a simple stylesheet link to Google Fonts
- you use modern CSS features like font-display: swap that cover your needs
- you need a build-time font subsetting or self-hosting pipeline
