Getting started

Add this to your HTML <head>:

<link
  href="https://fonts.wayscloud.eu/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;700&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

Then use the font in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif;
}

That’s it. The browser fetches a small CSS file from WAYSCloud, which declares @font-face blocks pointing at our cached WOFF2 files.

Multiple families

Repeat the family= parameter — the API does not accept comma-separated families:

<link
  href="https://fonts.wayscloud.eu/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;700&family=Source+Serif+4:wght@400;700&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

The order in the URL is preserved as the order of @font-face blocks in the response.

Italic

Use the ital,wght@ axis — 0,N is upright at weight N, 1,N is italic:

<link
  href="https://fonts.wayscloud.eu/css2?family=Inter:ital,wght@0,400;1,400&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

The italic face must exist in the family for that weight. Each family’s catalog page lists which weights and styles are available.

`display=`

display= accepts the standard CSS font-display values: auto, block, swap, fallback, optional. It applies to every @font-face block in the response.

What you get

WOFF2-only delivery — small transfers, modern compression
No IP, User-Agent, or Referer logging at our edge
EU-resident infrastructure — no cross-border data hops
font-display baked into every block — your fallback text renders immediately, swap to webfont when loaded
Stable URLs — the CSS URL for an active release stays valid

What fails

If something is wrong with your request, /css2 returns HTTP 400 with a CSS-comment body. The five cases:

Family not in catalog — /* WAYSCloud Fonts: family "<name>" not in catalog */. Use the Inspect tool below to see what is in the catalog.
Weight not available — e.g. /* WAYSCloud Fonts: family "Inter:wght@9999" — weight 9999 not available; available: [400, 700] */. The actual list depends on the family.
Italic not available — e.g. /* WAYSCloud Fonts: family "Source Serif 4:ital,wght@1,400" — italic at weight 400 not available */.
Reserved parameter — subset=, v=, and text= are reserved for future use. Each returns 400 with /* WAYSCloud Fonts: parameter "<name>" reserved for future use */.
Unsupported parameter — effect= is not supported. Returns 400 with /* WAYSCloud Fonts: parameter "effect" not supported */.

Don’t know which fonts your site uses? Paste a URL into Inspect a site. It detects loaded font families and weights, marks which are on WAYSCloud Fonts, and gives you a ready-to-paste replacement snippet.

Self-hosting (fallback)

If you prefer to host font binaries yourself, each family ships a generated CSS file at https://fonts.wayscloud.eu/fonts/<slug>/style.css that declares @font-face blocks for every face the catalog has for that family. Combined with the upstream license file at https://fonts.wayscloud.eu/fonts/<slug>/LICENSE.txt and the WOFF2 files alongside, this is a complete bundle you can copy into your own static hosting. This path keeps you entirely off WAYSCloud’s edge — a valid choice if you don’t want a managed delivery path.

The primary integration is /css2. Self-hosting is the fallback.
