The Goarch theme provides centralized typography controls through the Redux Theme Options panel. This allows you to customize Google Fonts, font sizes, line heights, text transforms, and letter spacing across your entire website without writing custom CSS code.

Accessing Typography Options

To access the global font settings:

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to Theme Options in the left sidebar menu (or Appearance > Theme Options).
3. Click on the Typography tab.

Typography Settings Breakdown

The Typography panel is divided into distinct sections targeting specific areas of your architectural website:

1. Body Text

Controls the default typography for paragraphs and primary body content across all pages and blog posts.

• Font Family: Select your preferred primary body font (e.g., Roboto).
• Font Weight & Style: Choose font weight options (e.g., Light 300, Regular 400, Bold 700).
• Font Subsets: Load specific character subsets (e.g., Latin, Cyrillic, Greek) if required by your site’s language.
• Text Transform: Set global capitalization rules (None, Capitalize, UPPERCASE, or lowercase).
• Font Size & Line Height: Set explicit pixel values for body text size (default: 15px) and vertical spacing/line height (default: 25px).

2. Navigations & Letter Spacing

Customizes the appearance of primary header navigation menus.

• Font Family & Style: Define the font family and weight used for menu links.

• Font Family & Style: Choose a distinctive heading font family to establish visual hierarchy.
• Text Align & Transform: Choose whether headings inherit parent alignments or enforce specific text transformations (e.g., UPPERCASE for modern architectural aesthetics).

Managing Theme Options Changes

At the top right and bottom of the panel, you will find three primary control buttons:

• Save Changes: Commits your typography adjustments to the live website.
• Reset Section: Reverts only the Typography section back to the theme’s default settings without affecting other panels.
• Reset All: Restores all Goarch Theme Options tabs (General, Header, Styling, Footer, etc.) back to factory default values.

Best Practices for Architectural Web Typography

• Maintain Readability: For body text, keep line heights proportional to font size (typically 1.5 to 1.6 times the font size, such as 15px font with 25px line height).
• Limit Font Families: Use no more than two distinct font families (e.g., one for headings and one for body content) to keep page load times fast and preserve site performance.
• Test Responsiveness: After saving new typography sizes, review your site on mobile devices to ensure headings and navigation links scale properly without breaking layout containers.
