How to add the Multiple Local/External Fonts to our NextJS14 Project(or NextJS13)

Hi there,

Today I will show you how to you can add the not only single font but the multiple custom local or external fonts in your NextJS v14(v13). It is applicable for both the NextJS v14 as well as NextJS v13.

⁉️ And you guys might be thinking, why so long process to add the fonts, isn't there easier way?
- Actually there is easier way, if you want you can simply add the font in the way that you add the font in the plain website built using HTML, CSS and JS. But here comes the font optimization part. As per the NextJS official docs - next/font will automatically optimize your fonts (including custom fonts) and remove external network requests for improved privacy and performance.

Happy Coding :)

Thank you! I was trying to load localFont directly on layout.tsx file and it was gaving me the "can't resolve '/fonts/customfont.otf'" error as it was a "module-not-found" for NextJS. Your solution solve my problem. Thank you again!

Great tutorial. If I want to apply a font globally I guess you would apply the classname to a parent tag right? Or is there a more optimal way to do it?
