Replaces Google Fonts
European alternatives to Google Fonts
Serve web fonts without a US request
Browse the category: Content delivery networks (CDN) · Font services
Google Fonts is a font library and delivery service run by Google. The typefaces themselves are published under free software licences, so anyone may use them in any project, and the service makes them easy to add to a page with a single stylesheet link that pulls the font files from Google's servers. It is one of the most common third party resources on the web.
The catch is that link: loading a font from an external service means the visitor's browser contacts a US server and discloses their IP address before anything is rendered, which in the EU generally requires consent or another legal basis. A European alternative to Google Fonts removes that request. Bunny Fonts serves the same freely licensed typefaces from a European network, Bunny CDN can deliver other assets the same way, and Self-hosting Google Fonts keeps everything on your own domain.

Bunny Fonts
Google Fonts replacement from Slovenia
Bunny Fonts is a font service from the Slovenian CDN provider Bunny. It is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for Google Fonts: change the stylesheet URL in your source code from fonts.googleapis.com to fonts.bunny.net and the same font families load from Bunny's network instead.

Do I have to change my CSS?
Only slightly. Bunny Fonts is designed as a drop-in replacement for the stylesheet URL, while Self-hosting Google Fonts means downloading the files and writing your own font-face rules.
Are the fonts themselves still allowed?
Yes: the typefaces are released under free licences, so the licensing question is separate from where the files are served. What changes is which server your visitors connect to.
Which approach is quicker for visitors?
Self-hosting Google Fonts avoids an extra connection entirely and lets you subset the files to the characters you use. Bunny Fonts and Bunny CDN are the simpler option when you would rather not manage font files yourself.
