fonts.bunny.net

You embed Bunny Fonts by adding a stylesheet link or an @import rule that points to fonts.bunny.net, then referencing the font family in your CSS. The site itself exposes two embed paths — a CSS link and an HTML @import url(https://fonts.bunny.net/css) — and you should pick your fonts and language subsets through the site's filters before copying the snippet, since the exact URL depends on what you selected.

Before you start

Bunny Fonts is a font delivery service positioned around speed and GDPR compliance, so the embed works like a typical hosted-font stylesheet: your page requests CSS from their domain, and that CSS points to the actual font files. You don't self-host anything.

What you need:

• Edit access to your site's HTML <head> or your CSS file.
• The font family names you want, chosen from the Bunny Fonts catalog.
• The language subsets you actually need (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Vietnamese, and others are listed as filters).

Step 1: Pick fonts and subsets with the filters

On the Bunny Fonts site, the catalog is filtered by:

• # of Styles — how many weights/styles a family offers.
• Category — Serif, Sans-Serif, Display, Handwriting, Monospace.
• Language (subset) — Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified/Hong Kong/Traditional), Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended, Devanagari, Greek, Greek Extended, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese, Kannada, Khmer, Korean, Latin, Latin Extended, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Vietnamese.

There's also a search box, a sample-text preview with symbols, sentences, and alphabets, and a font-size control (shown at 30 px) so you can judge rendering before committing.

Filtering first matters because the subset you choose changes what the stylesheet serves. Requesting only Latin when your page is Latin keeps the payload smaller than pulling every subset.

Step 2: Choose your embed method

Bunny Fonts presents two options, labeled CSS and HTML.

Method A — CSS link (recommended for most sites)

Add a <link> element in your document <head>:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.bunny.net/css?family=your-font">

Then use the family in your stylesheet:

body {
  font-family: 'Your Font', sans-serif;
}

Input: the stylesheet URL for your chosen family and weights. Action: the browser fetches that CSS, which in turn declares @font-face rules. Expected result: the family becomes available to your CSS, and text renders in it once the font files load.

Method B — HTML @import

If you can't add a <link> (for example, you only control a CSS file), use the import form shown on the site:

@import url(https://fonts.bunny.net/css);

Place it at the very top of your CSS file, before any other rules — @import must come first or browsers ignore it.

Trade-off: @import inside CSS blocks rendering slightly later than a <link> in the head, because the browser has to download and parse the CSS before it discovers the import. Prefer the <link> method when you have a choice.

Step 3: Verify the exact snippet before deploying

The base URL https://fonts.bunny.net/css is the entry point, but the full URL — including family= parameters and any subset or weight qualifiers — is generated by the site based on your filter selections. Copy the snippet the site gives you rather than hand-writing the query string.

To verify it works:

1. Paste the stylesheet URL directly into a browser tab. You should get CSS back containing @font-face blocks, not an error page.
2. Load your page and check the rendered text against the sample preview you saw on the site.
3. Open DevTools → Network, filter by "font", and confirm the font files load with a 200 status.

Common snags

• @import ignored. It isn't the first rule in the file, or it sits after other declarations.
• Font not applying. The font-family name in your CSS doesn't match the family name in the served stylesheet, or a fallback is winning due to a more specific selector.
• Wrong characters rendering. You filtered for a subset that doesn't cover your content — add the relevant language subset and re-copy the snippet.
• Flash of unstyled text. Expected with any hosted font; the browser swaps in the font once it loads.

Choosing between the two methods

If you can edit the HTML head, use the link. Reach for @import only when that's your only option.

Open the Bunny Fonts library at fonts.bunny.net and use the Language (subset) filter to narrow the catalog to fonts that support the script you need — Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified, Hong Kong, Traditional), Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended, Devanagari, Greek, Greek Extended, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese, Kannada, Khmer, Korean, Latin, Latin Extended, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, or Vietnamese. Combine it with the Category, number-of-styles, and sort controls, then check the preview before you commit.

Where the filters live

The Bunny Fonts homepage is a browsable font directory. Above the font list you'll find:

• Filters — the main control panel for narrowing results
• Search — a text field for font names
• Sort By — Ascending / Descending ordering
• Filters Open / Filters toggle — expands or collapses the filter panel

The filter panel itself contains:

Step-by-step: filtering by language or script

1. Go to fonts.bunny.net.
2. Open the Filters panel if it isn't already expanded.
3. Set Language (subset) to your target script — for example, Japanese or Cyrillic.
4. Optionally set Category (e.g. Sans-Serif) and # of Styles to trim the list further.
5. Use Sort By to order the remaining families ascending or descending.
6. Read the result count shown next to the sort control — it tells you how many families match. A count of 0 families means your combination is too narrow; loosen one filter.
7. Click a family to open its sample and confirm the glyphs you need actually render.

Verifying a font before you use it

The preview area is where you confirm a candidate is right:

• Sample Text — type or paste your own string, including the exact characters your site will display.
• Font Size — set the preview size (the default shown is 30 px) to judge legibility at your real reading size.
• SYMBOLS / SENTENCES / ALPHABETS — switch between preset preview strings: digits and punctuation, the pangram "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", or the full A–Z / Z–A alphabet.

If a script you selected doesn't appear correctly in the sample, the family likely doesn't cover those glyphs — pick another.

Common pitfalls

• "Any Language" is the default. If you see unexpected scripts in results, you haven't applied the language filter yet.
• Zero results usually means over-filtering. Language + Category + style count can intersect to nothing. Drop the least important filter first.
• Subset ≠ full coverage. A font tagged for a script may cover only part of it. Always test with your real content, not just the preset pangram.
• Latin Extended is separate from Latin. If you need accented or extended Latin characters, select Latin Extended rather than Latin.

Getting the font onto your site

Once you've chosen a family, Bunny Fonts exposes a CSS endpoint. The page shows both a CSS link and an @import form:

@import url(https://fonts.bunny.net/css);

Use the link tag if you prefer loading in HTML, or the @import line inside a stylesheet. The site also offers a Switch to HTML option for the corresponding markup.

Bunny Fonts is a web font hosting service you can browse and embed in websites. It is positioned around two promises: faster font delivery and GDPR compliance. If you need a drop-in alternative to Google Fonts for a site that serves European visitors, or you simply want a font CDN that loads quickly, Bunny Fonts is built for that use case. It provides a CSS endpoint you link or import, plus a browsable catalog you can filter by style count, category, language subset, and sample text.

What Bunny Fonts provides

The service has two parts: a font directory you browse, and a CSS endpoint you embed.

Browsing the catalog

The site presents a filterable list of font families. Available filters include:

• Number of styles — narrow to families with the weight and style range you need.
• Category — All, Serif, Sans-Serif, Display, Handwriting, Monospace.
• Language (subset) — Any Language, plus Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified, Hong Kong, Traditional), Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended, Devanagari, Greek, Greek Extended, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese, Kannada, Khmer, Korean, Latin, Latin Extended, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Vietnamese.
• Sample text — preview with symbols, sentences, alphabets, or your own text, with an adjustable font size (shown at 30 px).

Sorting is available in ascending or descending order, and the interface reports the number of families matching your filters.

Embedding fonts

Bunny Fonts exposes a CSS endpoint:

@import url(https://fonts.bunny.net/css);

The page evidence shows both a CSS and an HTML embed option, so you can either import the stylesheet from within CSS or link it from HTML. The @import form above is the CSS route.

Why the GDPR angle matters

Google Fonts has drawn regulatory attention in the EU because requests to its servers can transmit a visitor's IP address to Google. Bunny Fonts markets itself as GDPR compliant, which is the main reason a site owner would switch: you keep the convenience of a hosted font CDN while avoiding the third-party data transfer that has been challenged. The site also links its own GDPR statement, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy, so you can review the specifics before committing.

When to use it

Bunny Fonts fits these situations:

• You want hosted web fonts without self-hosting the files.
• Your audience includes EU visitors and you want to reduce GDPR exposure from font requests.
• You need non-Latin subsets — the language filter covers a wide range, including CJK, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Arabic, Hebrew, and Southeast Asian scripts.
• You want to preview fonts with real sample text before choosing.

It is less relevant if you already self-host fonts for performance or privacy, or if you need a font that is not in the catalog.

How to get started

1. Open the font directory and use the filters to narrow by category, language subset, and number of styles.
2. Preview candidates using the sample text options (symbols, sentences, alphabets) and adjust the size to judge legibility.
3. Pick a family and grab the embed code — either the CSS @import or the HTML link form.
4. Add it to your site and verify the font renders as expected.

The main thing to check before you commit: confirm the specific family and subset you need is actually in the catalog, since availability drives everything else.

Bunny Fonts is marketed as a GDPR-friendly font CDN because it is designed to avoid the personal-data exposure that made Google Fonts a compliance problem for many EU-facing websites. If your site serves visitors in the EU and you load web fonts from a third-party CDN, the practical question is whether that request transmits personal data (notably IP addresses) to a provider in a way you can justify. Bunny Fonts positions itself as an alternative that reduces that exposure, and its own site links GDPR, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy pages as the authoritative sources.

The core issue: font CDNs and personal data

When a browser loads a font from a remote CDN, the request typically includes the visitor's IP address and other request metadata. Under the GDPR, an IP address can count as personal data. If the CDN provider is a separate company, that transfer can create obligations: you may need a legal basis, a data processing agreement, and clarity about where the data goes.

This is the mechanism behind the well-publicized Google Fonts rulings in the EU, where courts found that transmitting visitor IPs to Google without consent was unlawful. The lesson generalizes: the compliance risk comes from the third-party request, not from fonts as such.

How Bunny Fonts addresses it

Bunny Fonts is built on the bunny.net infrastructure and is presented as a privacy-oriented, GDPR-compliant font service. Its stated purpose is to "help make the internet faster, safer and GDPR compliant." The relevant claims to verify are on the site's own GDPR, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy pages, which are linked from the footer.

Two design choices matter for compliance:

• Self-hosting is not required. You can keep the convenience of a CDN while using a provider that frames itself around GDPR compliance, rather than moving every font file into your own repository.
• Drop-in compatibility. The service exposes a CSS endpoint (https://fonts.bunny.net/css) and supports both CSS and @import usage, so it can substitute for a Google Fonts link with minimal changes.

What "GDPR friendly" does and does not mean

"GDPR friendly" is a provider-side claim. It reduces your risk compared with a CDN that has been found non-compliant, but it does not automatically make your site compliant. You remain the controller for your visitors' data.

Practical steps if you serve EU visitors

1. Identify current font sources. Check whether your site loads fonts from a third-party CDN and which one.
2. Review the provider's terms. For Bunny Fonts, read the linked GDPR, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy pages.
3. Switch the reference. Replace the font stylesheet URL with the Bunny Fonts CSS endpoint, or use the @import form shown on the site.
4. Verify rendering. Confirm the chosen families and subsets load correctly, since Bunny Fonts organizes fonts by category, number of styles, and language subset (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and others).
5. Document your decision. Record why you chose the provider and what data the request involves.

When this matters most

• You operate a site with EU visitors and currently use a third-party font CDN.
• You want CDN convenience without self-hosting every font file.
• You need a font service that explicitly frames itself around GDPR compliance.

If you already self-host fonts, the third-party transfer issue largely disappears, and Bunny Fonts becomes a convenience choice rather than a compliance one. If you use a CDN, the deciding factor is the provider's documented handling of personal data — which is exactly what Bunny Fonts' GDPR and Privacy Policy pages are there to let you evaluate.

Bunny Fonts is a reasonable alternative to Google Fonts if your priority is a faster, more privacy-oriented font delivery layer and you are willing to accept a smaller catalog. Its site presents it as a drop-in style service: you browse fonts, filter by style, category, language subset, and size, then embed via a CSS link or @import. The main trade-off is catalog depth and ecosystem maturity, not the basic workflow.

How the two services compare

The comparison is only as strong as the current catalog. The page evidence shows a filter interface with “0 families” displayed in the captured state, so the exact number of available families should be confirmed on the live site before you commit.

When Bunny Fonts is the better choice

• Privacy or GDPR compliance is a hard requirement. The site explicitly frames itself around GDPR compliance, which is the clearest differentiator against Google Fonts.
• You want a familiar embed pattern. If you already use a CSS link or @import, switching is mostly a URL change rather than a new integration model.
• Your project uses common scripts. Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Greek, and several Indic and CJK subsets are listed, so most Western and many international projects are covered.
• You care about delivery speed. The service markets itself on speed, though you should verify performance in your own region and hosting setup.

When Google Fonts is still the safer pick

• You need a specific family that Bunny Fonts does not carry. Catalog gaps are the most likely reason to stay.
• Your tooling assumes Google Fonts. Some frameworks, plugins, and design tools have first-class Google Fonts integrations that may not exist for Bunny Fonts.
• You want the largest possible selection. Google Fonts remains the broader library.

How to test the switch

1. Open fonts.bunny.net and use the filters to find a family that matches your current Google Font.
2. Check the available styles, category, and language subset against your existing usage.
3. Copy the CSS link or @import url(https://fonts.bunny.net/css) snippet.
4. Replace the Google Fonts URL in your stylesheet or HTML head.
5. Verify rendering across your target scripts and weights, and confirm the font loads in your deployment environment.

If the family you need is present and the embed works in your stack, Bunny Fonts is a practical alternative. If it is missing, the GDPR and speed benefits do not outweigh a broken typeface.
