Font embedding in EPUB files allows publishers to include custom fonts within the eBook package, ensuring a consistent reading experience across different devices and eReaders. This is done by embedding font files (e.g., TTF or OTF) in the EPUB’s CSS and referencing them in the stylesheet.

Font embedding is important because it preserves the book’s intended typography, enhances readability, and maintains branding—especially for genres like children’s books or design-heavy content. However, publishers must ensure they have the proper licensing for any embedded fonts.

For authors working with eBook publishers UK, professional services ensure proper font integration while adhering to EPUB standards, improving both aesthetics and accessibility for readers.
