Modern Fonts for Font Library

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The “Modern Font Stacks” are 15 handpicked font families that ensure a similar look and feel of your text across platforms, be it Windows, macOS, Linux or mobile devices, in the fastest and most robust way possible — by using the best system fonts available. No external downloads are necessary. No “flash of unstyled text”. There are no privacy issues. Search for “Modern Font Stacks” on your favorite search engine for the full story; you won’t regret it. You can add these font stacks to your theme via theme.json, which is not overly technical, just a bit cumbersome — or — you can use the “Modern Fonts for Font Library” plugin, which does just that for you. Afterward, the new font stacks will be available in the typography settings of your full site editing theme and, as a result, in the block editor for your content. Worried about long-time support? Don’t be. The system fonts aren’t going anywhere, and you can at any time replace the “Modern Font for Font Library” plugin with a few lines of custom CSS or the mentioned addition to theme.json. I’ve built numerous sites using Modern Font Stacks. Having a good selection of beautiful and efficient fonts for body text, script, monospaced text, etc. means that I can often avoid external fonts entirely, or just use a single external font for branding or headings. This results in a super-fast user experience. The Font Library is a Full Site Editing feature, and therefore, the plugin does not really benefit classic theme users. I’d love to see some integration with classic themes; however, I wouldn’t bet on it since classic themes’ implementation of typography settings varies so much. Tested with WordPress 6.6.1 and PHP 8.3 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
