    I plan on using Mulish font on the website I’m currently working on, and realized that Google has renamed Muli to Mulish (and changed it a little) – so while references to Muli will work for a while, it might be a good idea to update GP to reflect the change.

    Sources:

    https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Mulish?preview.text_type=custom

    Muli has been sold to Adobe Fonts – https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/muli

    Did Google remove “Muli” font from its collection?

    I plan on adding Mulish to the font selector using this snippet, but I’m concerned that if it’s updated in the theme, will it conflict with the snippet?

    add_filter( 'generate_typography_customize_list', 'tu_add_google_fonts' );
    function tu_add_google_fonts( $fonts ) {
    	$fonts[ 'mulish' ] = array( 
    		'name' => 'Mulish',
    		'variants' => array( '400', '500', '700' ),
    		'category' => 'sans-serif'
    	);
    
    	return $fonts;
    }

    Hi there,

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ll make sure Tom get’s notified.

    I plan on adding Mulish to the font selector using this snippet, but I’m concerned that if it’s updated in the theme, will it conflict with the snippet?

    It should be fine as a workaround for now if it’s urgent as I’m not exactly sure if Tom will decide to change Muli to Mulish or completely remove Muli and let users add it manually as while they’re similar, they don’t exactly look the same.

    We’ll make sure to mention this on the next changelog.

    Tom’s been made aware of this but has yet to lay a plan.

    No problem. 🙂

    Is there an update to this? Using the new Newsroom Template and it installed with Muli as the default font for body.

    In experimenting with trying to use local fonts I found out that Muli is no longer at Google. Only Mulish.

    Hi there,

    so Muli although not listed at Google its still available in its API, i assume that it doesn’t break all those sites out there that rely on it. Which is why Newsroom can still use it.

    What is it that you want ? To use Mulish instead of Muli ? If so its available in he font list in the customizer.

    If you want to load Muli locally then you would need to find a source for that font.
