Install

1

Download the font files

Download glide-variable.woff2 and glide-variable-italic.woff2 and glide-mono.woff2 and place them in your project's public/ directory.

2

Configure the fonts in your root layout

In app/layout.tsx, import localFont and configure the Glide variable and Glide Mono fonts:

app/layout.tsx
import localFont from "next/font/local";

const glide = localFont({
  src: [
    { path: "../public/glide-variable.woff2", style: "normal" },
    { path: "../public/glide-variable-italic.woff2", style: "italic" },
  ],
  variable: "--font-glide",
  weight: "100 950",
  display: "swap",
});

const glideMono = localFont({
  src: [{ path: "../public/glide-mono.woff2", style: "normal" }],
  variable: "--font-glide-mono",
  weight: "400",
  display: "swap",
});

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" className={`${glide.variable} ${glideMono.variable}`}>
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}
3

Map the CSS variables in Tailwind

In your global CSS file, map --font-glide to Tailwind's --font-sans and --font-glide-mono to --font-mono:

app/globals.css
@theme inline {
  --font-sans: var(--font-glide);
  --font-mono: var(--font-glide-mono);
}
4

Use it

Glide is now your default sans-serif font, and Glide Mono is your monospace font. Use font-sans with any weight from 100 to 950, and font-mono for code:

<p className="font-sans font-normal">Regular (400)</p>
<p className="font-sans font-bold">Bold (700)</p>
<p className="font-sans font-black">Black (900)</p>
<p className="font-sans font-bold italic">Bold italic (700)</p>
<code className="font-mono">const glide = "mono";</code>
