How to use it

1. Open the Appearance tab in Obsidian
2. Click the Manage button
3. Use this search box to find “Typo”, then click “Use”

Installing extra font weights

1. Go to the Google Fonts page of the font you want weights for, Spectral or Alegreya Sans
2. Click Get font then the Download All button. A zip file will download.
3. Extract the zip file. You should see a large number of TrueType Font files, or .TTF files.
4. This step varies based on the operating system you are on.
   1. If you're on Windows or Mac, you can double click a file then click Install in the resulting window that opens.
   2. If you have a Samsung Android phone, you will need to rename the .TTF to .APK, then "install" it like an app.
