Unfortunately the short and simple answer is "no", you should not try to use web fonts or Google fonts in an email signature. Instead you should stick to the web safe fonts in the table below.


While support for the web font technology is growing in email clients that has enabled designers to start to make use of the technology on some marketing emails, there is a different problem altogether when adding fonts to an email signature. Attaching an email signature at the end of an email is not the same as sending out a designed HTML email from a service like Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, or another bulk marketing email provider. The problem is that in an email signature we have very little control over the HTML that actually gets sent out.


Web fonts in an email require the use of a tag with a number of @font-face declarations inside of it. These font-face declarations usually call an external style sheet from a remote server. Using this method is generally possible using a bulk email service like Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor. But attaching an email signature is far different and much less "controlled" than an environment like MailChimp. Including a style tag in an email signature is not recommended because it will almost certainly get stripped out during the process of adding that signature into an email client especially those declarations that reference a remotely hosted files.


Let me explain this further. Let's say you have a perfect bit of HTML that a user copies into their clipboard including the style tag with the font face declarations. When that user visits their settings in their email client like Outlook, Apple Mail, or Gmail and paste that HTML into the signature editor there, the email client does not take those HTML instructions as is and save them as you wrote them. Instead each email client runs that HTML through its own process to determine what is acceptable and what is not. It can, and will, remove elements, attributes, and whatever it deems necessary from your beautiful HTML code. Sometimes it does this for security reasons, and other times it does it for compatibility reasons to make the HTML work better in that particular email client's HTML rendering engine. 2ff7e9595c
