  4. This will download a zip-file that contains the font files and a sample CSS document. You will need to put these in your server folder and link appropriately. You can copy and paste the style into your CSS from the provided stylesheet.

  5. Then you can copy the code from the stylesheet.css file that was created for you and add it to your own CSS document. You will also need to add a line of code that calls on the chosen typeface. So you are loading it in from your server with @font-face and then calling it up with font-family for whatever tag you want it displayed.
