To import the font in your website and being able to use it in your css, you have insert a specific code provide by Google. This code has to be placed between your head tags. The code looks like:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsHi,
You can go to Google font to choose any fonts you like. Then put the link inside the head.
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
Then apply that font for h1
h1 {
font-family: 'Your Font', sans-serif;
}
Hope that helps :-)
