flutter:
  fonts:
    - family: UbuntuMono
      fonts:
        - asset: fonts/UbuntuMono-Regular.ttf
        - asset: fonts/UbuntuMono-Italic.ttf
          style: italic
        - asset: fonts/UbuntuMono-Bold.ttf
          weight: 700

2. Set ShadTextTheme in ShadThemeData:

return ShadApp(
  theme: ShadThemeData(
    brightness: Brightness.light,
    colorScheme: const ShadZincColorScheme.light(),
    textTheme: ShadTextTheme(
      colorScheme: const ShadZincColorScheme.light(),
      family: 'UbuntuMono',
    ),
  ),
  ...
);

Google Fonts

Install google_fonts, then:

theme: ShadThemeData(
  brightness: Brightness.light,
  colorScheme: const ShadZincColorScheme.light(),
  textTheme: ShadTextTheme.fromGoogleFont(GoogleFonts.poppins),
),

Custom text styles

Extend ShadTextTheme with the custom parameter:

textTheme: ShadTextTheme(
  custom: {
    'myCustomStyle': const TextStyle(
      fontSize: 16,
      fontWeight: FontWeight.w400,
      color: Colors.blue,
    ),
  },
),

Access: ShadTheme.of(context).textTheme.custom['myCustomStyle']!

Or define an extension on ShadTextTheme and use ShadTheme.of(context).textTheme.myCustomStyle.
