[S1] ## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts) - **What it is** — Google Fonts offers over 1000 free fonts through Google's font service, as an alternative to standard HTML fonts. [S1] - **Two steps** — add a `` in the `` section, then reference the font in CSS via `font-family`. [S1] - **Multiple fonts** — separate multiple font names in the link URL with the pipe character (`|`). [S1] - **Font effects** — add `&effect=effectname` to the URL and apply the class `font-effect-effectname` to the element. [S1] - **Always use fallbacks** — include a fallback font (serif or sans-serif) to avoid unexpected behavior. [S1] - **Performance** — using multiple fonts may slow page load performance. [S1] ## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns) - **Link + reference** — one `` per font set, then `font-family: "Name", generic;` in CSS. [S1] - **Pipe for many** — `?family=Audiowide|Sofia|Trirong` loads several fonts in one request. [S1] - **Effect class pairing** — URL `&effect=fire` pairs with HTML class `font-effect-fire`. [S1] ## 📖 세부 내용 (Details) Google Fonts lets you use over 1000 free fonts through Google's font service as an alternative to standard HTML fonts.
