How to use Kailasa in code

SwiftUI

Swift
Text("Hello, world")
    .font(.custom("Kailasa", size: 17, relativeTo: .body))

UIKit

Swift
let base = UIFont(name: "Kailasa", size: 17)!
label.font = UIFontMetrics(forTextStyle: .body).scaledFont(for: base)
label.adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory = true

Objective-C

Obj-C
label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Kailasa" size:17];

CSS for Safari on iPhone and iPad

CSS
.headline {
  font-family: "Kailasa", sans-serif;
  font-weight: 700;
}

Wrapping the font in UIFontMetrics, or passing relativeTo: in SwiftUI, lets Kailasa grow and shrink with the user’s Dynamic Type setting. Read the custom fonts guide for the full checklist, or the San Francisco guide if you want Apple’s system font instead.
