What is @fontsource/poppins?

@fontsource/poppins is an npm package that allows developers to self-host the Poppins font in their web projects. It provides a convenient way to include the Poppins font without relying on external services like Google Fonts, offering better control over loading performance and privacy.

What are @fontsource/poppins's main functionalities?

Self-hosting Poppins font

This feature allows you to self-host the Poppins font by importing it directly into your project. This can improve performance and privacy by reducing reliance on third-party services.

import "@fontsource/poppins";

Specifying font weights and styles

You can import specific font weights and styles to optimize loading times by only including the necessary font files for your project.

import "@fontsource/poppins/400.css";
import "@fontsource/poppins/700.css";

Variable fonts support

The package supports variable fonts, allowing for more flexible and responsive typography by using a single font file that can adjust its weight and style dynamically.

import "@fontsource/poppins/variable.css";

Other packages similar to @fontsource/poppins

typeface-poppins

typeface-poppins is another package for self-hosting the Poppins font. It is similar to @fontsource/poppins but is part of the older typeface project, which is less actively maintained compared to the Fontsource project.

fontsource-roboto

fontsource-roboto is part of the same Fontsource project and offers similar functionality for the Roboto font. Like @fontsource/poppins, it allows for self-hosting, specific weight imports, and variable fonts, but for the Roboto typeface.

webfontloader

webfontloader is a more general package that allows you to load fonts from various sources, including Google Fonts and Typekit. While it provides more flexibility in terms of font sources, it does not offer the same level of self-hosting control as @fontsource/poppins.
