Comment:

 Hi @TwentyZeroTwo, WordPress 5.8 itself only supports a subset of possible
 `theme.json` features. But with the Gutenberg plugin you'll get a few more
 features, including support for font-family. On the handbook page for
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/themes/theme-
 json/#settings settings] and [https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor
 /how-to-guides/themes/theme-json/#styles styles] you can view what is
 supported by WordPress and what requires Gutenberg.

 Here's a quick example of a `theme.json` (based on
 [https://github.com/WordPress/theme-
 experiments/blob/master/tt1-blocks/theme.json tt1-blocks]) which would set
 a default font-family and one specific to paragraphs - for the editor and
 the frontend. But as mentioned above, this requires Gutenberg to be
 active.

 {{{#!json
 {
   "version": 1,
   "settings": {
     "typography": {
       "fontFamilies": [
         {
           "fontFamily": "-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe
 UI\",Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,\"Helvetica Neue\",sans-serif",
           "slug": "system-font",
           "name": "System Font"
         },
         {
           "fontFamily": "Cambria, Georgia, serif",
           "slug": "cambria-georgia"
         }
       ]
     }
   },
   "styles": {
     "typography": {
       "fontFamily": "var(--wp--preset--font-family--system-font)"
     },
     "blocks": {
       "core/paragraph": {
         "typography": {
           "fontFamily": "var(--wp--preset--font-family--cambria-georgia)"
         }
       }
     }
   }
 }
 }}}

 So right now I'd say that what you want to have is planned for a future
 release.
