    Hi Corey,
    There are two ways you can add this font.

    Recommended Method: Sign up for a Google API key and enter it in the admin section. This way the latest fonts will be updated automatically. To do this you would do the following:

    1. Follow these instructions to get an API Key from google. Once you have an API key enter it in the settings page for this plugin.
    2. In your WordPress Admin Area go to: Settings > Google Fonts and click the Advanced Tab.
    3. Click the Save Google API Key button.

    Another Method: I’ve now added this font to the list of webfonts (I normally update the font list manually every 2-3 weeks) so if you remove this plugin and re-install it you will have this font available to you. Please make sure you do the following if you choose this method (to refresh the font list):

    1. In your WordPress Admin Area go to: Settings > Google Fonts and click the Advanced Tab.
    2. Click the Save Google API Key button.

    I hope that helps, please give me a shout if you need any further assistance.

    Hi, thanks so much for your reply. I’ve actually tried both routes so far with no luck.

    On the recommended method, I’m going through the instructions but they do not match up with the options I have in the API interface. For example, it asks me to click the “Registered Apps” option in the left-hand navigation, and there is no option called “Registered Apps”. So I’m stuck there.

    I also tried the second option of erasing, and then reinstalling the app, and clicked save on the Google API key button, but the font is not showing up.

    Here is a screenshot of what my options are in the API panel: https://note.io/1jkFzJl

    Hi Corey,
    Google have recently updated this console admin and it looks like they haven’t updated their instructions yet. Based on your screenshot try the following:

    1. Hover over and click the Web Fonts Developer API link
    2. Click the Credentials link located in the sidebar on the left hand side.
    3. Under the Public API heading button click the Create New Key button
    4. Select the Browser key button and click the Create button
    5. Copy the key that is generated into the admin area

    That should do it. Please let me know how you get on.
