Click Select this style to get the link for embedding the font:
Step 2. Copy Google embed code for your selected font(s)
Once you have the font selected, a new panel will appear on the right side. This panel is going to give you the generated embedded code for your page.
2.1 Choose the right code
By default, when you select a font, you will be given 3 links under the Use on the web section. Please copy only the link located at the bottom of the box as shown below:
2.2 Copy the code
Before copying the code, make sure that the <link> is selected.
NOTE: You can add multiple types of fonts by clicking Select this style. As you add more fonts, your embedded link will be updated with all the fonts style you selected, and you will only have to copy the same code shown above (2.2 Copy the code).
