Another option to all of the good answers here is the npm package react-google-font-loader, found here.

The usage is simple:

import GoogleFontLoader from 'react-google-font-loader';

// Somewhere in your React tree:

<GoogleFontLoader
    fonts={[
        {
            font: 'Bungee Inline',
            weights: [400],
        },
    ]}
/>

Then you can just use the family name in your CSS:

body {
    font-family: 'Bungee Inline', cursive;
}

In your CSS file  such as App css in a create-react-app  add a fontface import  For example    fontface     font-family   Bungee Inline   cursive    src  url  https   fonts googleapis com css family Bungee Inline       Then simply add the font to the DOM element within the same css file   body     font-family   Bungee Inline   cursive

In some cases your font resource maybe somewhere in your project directory  So you can load it like this using SCSS   list           quot Black quot          quot BlackItalic quot          quot Bold quot          quot BoldItalic quot          quot Italic quot          quot Light quot          quot LightItalic quot          quot Medium quot          quot MediumItalic quot          quot Regular quot          quot Thin quot          quot ThinItalic quot                   mixin setRobotoFonts          each  var in  list            font-face             font-family   quot Roboto-   var  quot             src  url  quot    fonts Roboto-   var  ttf quot   format  quot ttf quot                             include setRobotoFonts

Here are two different ways you can adds fonts to your react app   Adding local fonts   Create a new folder called fonts in your src folder  Download the google fonts locally and place them inside the fonts folder  Open your index css file and include the font by referencing the path     font-face     font-family   Rajdhani     src  local  Rajdhani    url   fonts Rajdhani Rajdhani-Regular ttf  format  truetype        Here I added a Rajdhani font   Now  we can use our font in css classes like this    title      font-family  Rajdhani  serif      color   0004      Adding Google fonts  If you like to use google fonts  api  instead of local fonts  you can add it like this    import url  https   fonts googleapis com css2 family Rajdhani wght 300 500 amp display swap      Similarly  you can also add it inside the index html file using link tag    lt link href  https   fonts googleapis com css2 family Rajdhani wght 300 500 amp display swap  rel  stylesheet  gt     originally posted at https   reactgo com add-fonts-to-react-app

If you are using Create React App environment simply add  import rule to index css as such    import url  https   fonts googleapis com css family Anton      Import index css in your main React app   import    index css    React gives you a choice of Inline styling  CSS Modules or Styled Components in order to apply CSS   font-family   Anton   sans-serif

In some sort of main or first loading CSS file  just do    import url  https   fonts googleapis com css family Source Sans Pro regular bold italic amp subset latin latin-ext      You don t need to wrap in any sort of  font-face  etc  the response you get back from Google s API is ready to go and lets you use font families like normal   Then in your main React app JavaScript  at the top put something like   import    assets css fonts css     What I did actually was made an app css that imported a fonts css with a few font imports  Simply for organization  now I know where all my fonts are   The important thing to remember is that you import the fonts first   Keep in mind that any component you import to your React app should be imported after the style import  Especially if those components also import their own styles  This way you can be sure of the ordering of styles  This is why it s best to import fonts at the top of your main file  don t forget to check your final bundled CSS file to double check if you re having trouble    There s a few options you can pass the Google Font API to be more efficient when loading fonts  etc  See official documentation  Get Started with the Google Fonts API   Edit  note  If you are dealing with an  offline  application  then you may indeed need to download the fonts and load through Webpack

It could be the self-closing tag of link at the end  try    lt link href  https   fonts googleapis com css family Bungee Inline  rel  stylesheet   gt     and in your main css file try   body div     font-family   Bungee Inline   cursive
