## Loading the custom fonts
To add a custom font in your project, install the Google font you want to use
from [Fontsource](https://fontsource.org/). For this guide, we'll use the
["Bricolage Grotesque"](https://fontsource.org/fonts/bricolage-grotesque) font
as an example.
```bash
pnpm add @fontsource-variable/bricolage-grotesque
```
Next, import the font at the root of your project, referencing the `css` path:
```tsx title="main.tsx"
import "@fontsource-variable/bricolage-grotesque/index.css"
```
## Configure the custom font
Use the `createSystem` method to define the custom font in Chakra UI's theme
configuration:
```tsx title="components/ui/provider.tsx"
"use client"
import { createSystem, defaultConfig } from "@chakra-ui/react"
const system = createSystem(defaultConfig, {
theme: {
tokens: {
fonts: {
heading: { value: "Bricolage Grotesque Variable" },
body: { value: "Bricolage Grotesque Variable" },
},
},
},
})
```
:::info
You can customize which text elements use the font by specifying it for
`heading`, `body`, or both. In this case, we are setting both the body and
heading fonts to "Bricolage Grotesque".
:::
Finally, pass the `system` into the `ChakraProvider`
```tsx title="components/ui/provider.tsx" /value={system}/
export function Provider(props: ColorModeProviderProps) {
return (
<ChakraProvider value={system}>
<ColorModeProvider {...props} />
</ChakraProvider>
)
}
```
This ensures that the custom font is applied across your entire app.
