AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Simple Gutenberg Google Fonts is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by acosmin — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

What it does? Simple Google Fonts adds the posibility to change default fonts to Google fonts from within the new WordPress v5.0 editor, codename Gutenberg. You’ll need Gutenberg installed and activated in order to use this plugin.
Things to know:
Read the After activation section for some info on how to use it.
Supported post types: posts and pages
You can set Google fonts for individual posts and pages or globally.
Globally means that the styles from a selected post will apply to the entire website. It will also apply the styles in the Editor, for new or old posts (that don’t have any styles applied to them).
The post needs to be published for you to be able to use its styles globally. If for some reason you change that post to draft mode and the global mode is enabled on it, the option will reset and you’ll need to enable it again after you publish the post.
It’s safe to say that if you don’t have an Internet connection, Google fonts will not display (unless you have them installed on your system).
To do list:
Add support for word-spacing for both body and headings
Auto add 700 and 700i weights if the font supports those variants.

Theme developers You can use the sgf_defaults filter to change the plugin defaults, example:
add_filter( 'sgf_defaults', function( $defaults ) { // since v1.0.1 $check = function_exists( 'sgf_get_font_id' );
// Headings font family $hff = ! $check ? 0 : sgf_get_font_id( 'Josefin Sans' );
// Body font family $bff = ! $check ? 0 : sgf_get_font_id( 'Muli' );
// Headings $defaults[ 'headings' ][ 'ff' ] = $hff; // int | Font Family
// Body $defaults[ 'body' ][ 'ff' ] = $bff; // int | Font Family $defaults[ 'body' ][ 'wt' ] = '400'; // string | Font Weight $defaults[ 'body' ][ 'lh' ] = 1.8; // float | Line Height $defaults[ 'body' ][ 'ls' ] = 0; // float | Letter spacing $defaults[ 'body' ][ 'ws' ] = 0; // float | Word spacing
// Returns new defaults return $defaults; }, 15 );
For headings you can use the sgf_headings_defaults, example:
add_filter( 'sgf_headings_defaults', function( $defaults, $headings ) { // $headings = [ 'h1', ... 'h6' ];
$defaults[ 'h1' ][ 'wt' ] = '400'; // string | H1 font weight, italic is added automatically. $defaults[ 'h1' ][ 'tt' ] = 'none'; // string | H1 text transform $defaults[ 'h1' ][ 'lh' ] = 1.8; // float | Line height $defaults[ 'h1' ][ 'ls' ] = 0; // float | Letter spacing $defaults[ 'h1' ][ 'ws' ] = 0; // float | Words spacing
// if a propriety is left out, it will use the plugin default. // you can use this for headings from h1 to h6
return $defaults; }, 10, 2 );
For text logos you can use the sgf_styles_frontend_txt_logo filter to make sure it always takes on the Headings font family, example:
add_filter( 'sgf_styles_frontend_txt_logo', function() { return '.logo-wrap'; }, 15 );
You can add these in your functions.php file. If you want to support old PHP versions, replace the anonymous functions with normal functions.
