This is the main repository for fonts used by BBC News and World Service. The fonts contained here may be embedded in any bbc.co.uk or bbc.com website.
While this service strives to offer high perfomance and availability, it is the client application's responsibility to properly configure fallback system fonts.
Below you will find a list of all currently available fonts and their versions. Please use the linked stylesheets as a starting point for declaring and using fonts in your project.
Ideally fonts should be loaded under the following principles:
