How do I say Pika?

We built Pika saying "Pee-kuh" (pē-kə). It turns out the name of our little furry friend is a bit controversial. We're sticking with "Pee-kuh"–it just feels right!

How do I change the fonts on my site?

If you visit Settings > Theme you can choose from a few font themes that we’ve cooked up for you. If you’d like to define a different set of fonts, you’ll have to get into custom CSS. Enable this at the bottom of the Theme section, clicking Add custom CSS.

For instance, if you wanted to comic sans your whole site, we’re not going to stop you:

body {
--font-custom-headlines: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', cursive, sans-serif !important;
--font-custom-body: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', cursive, sans-serif !important;
--font-custom-meta: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', cursive, sans-serif !important;
}

Maybe you have some hot Google fonts that you’d like to use? Here's how to give it a go:

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Space+Grotesk:wght@400;700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap");
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Spectral:ital,wght@0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800&display=swap');
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,100;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;0,900;1,100;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,700;1,900&family=Spectral:ital,wght@0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800&display=swap');

body {
