To add a Japanese typeface with a size restriction in Webflow and make it available in the designer, follow these steps:

  1. Obtain the Japanese font files: Find a suitable Japanese typeface that you want to use and ensure you have the font files (.ttf or .otf format).

  2. Upload font files to Webflow: In your Webflow project, go to the Fonts section in the project settings. Click on the "Add font" button, and then "Upload Fonts." Select the Japanese font files you wish to add and upload them to your project.

  3. Define font styles: After uploading the font files, you need to define the font styles and options in the Webflow Designer. Go to the Webflow Designer, select an element where you want to use the Japanese typeface, and navigate to the typography settings.

  4. Set font family: In the typography settings, click on the dropdown next to the "Font Family" property. You should see your uploaded Japanese fonts listed as an option. Choose the desired font for the element.

  5. Set font size restriction with custom code: If you want to restrict the font size, you'll need to use custom code. To do this, click on the "+" button next to the typography settings to add a new property. Choose "Custom Code" from the dropdown menu, and then paste the following CSS code:

font-size: clamp(<min-size>, <max-size>);

Replace <min-size> and <max-size> with the minimum and maximum font sizes you want to allow. For example, to set a font size range between 16px and 24px, use:

font-size: clamp(16px, 24px);

Remember to adjust the font size values to fit your specific requirements.

  1. Apply the font and size restriction: Once you have set the custom code, apply the changes. You should now have the Japanese typeface added to your Webflow project, and the font size restricted within the specified range.

By following these steps, you can add a Japanese typeface to Webflow while also implementing a size restriction to ensure the font remains consistent and optimal for your design.
