Description
Problem:
The Neve customizer typography options currently lack the base "Google Sans" font, although variants like "Google Sans Code" and "Google Sans Flex" are available. Customers who wish to use this standard typography are blocked from doing so without resorting to custom font workarounds.
Desired Behavior:
"Google Sans" should be natively available within the typography dropdown in the Neve customizer, allowing users to easily select and apply it to their elements.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Verify availability and licensing of "Google Sans" via the Google Fonts API.
- Update the theme's bundled font definition list to include "Google Sans" so it appears in the customizer dropdown.
- Verify the font correctly enqueues and renders on the frontend when active.
- (If the font cannot be included due to proprietary licensing, the engineering team should close the issue with an explanation so support can relay the information).
Customer Context
The customer is on Lifetime Pro plans, has intermediate technical knowledge, and manages multiple sites. They want to use the "Google Sans" font natively from the customizer but noticed only its variants are available. They are requesting it be added to the built-in theme fonts.
Root Cause Analysis
The root cause is a gap in Neve's predefined list of selectable fonts. The customizer typography settings do not list "Google Sans", meaning the customer cannot select their desired typography natively and is forced to consider custom font integrations if they wish to proceed.
Reasoning
The customer is pointing out a gap in the theme's native font library: 'Google Sans' is missing from the typography dropdown, although its variants (Code and Flex) are present. While using a custom font module is a good support workaround, updating the native font list to include missing fonts (or syncing with the latest Google Fonts library) is a valid product enhancement.
