title: Does Google fonts API v2 support ready to use Google's font effects?
body: <p>I am currently learning <a href="https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google fonts API</a>, and the current version as far as I know is version 2.</p>
  <p>Applying fonts goes well but when I apply ready to use <a href="https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#enabling_font_effects_beta" rel="nofollow noreferrer">font effects</a> it fails.</p>
  <p>Here is the code that doesn't work (<code>effect=fire</code>).</p>
  <pre><code>@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Sofia&amp;effect=fire');
  </code></pre>
  <p>And when I switch the API version from <code>css2</code> to <code>css</code> it works.</p>
  <pre><code>@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Sofia&amp;effect=fire');
  </code></pre>
  <p>I am using Chrome.</p>
  <p>So the question is, does Google fonts API v2 support ready to use font effects? Or there is another way to get it done in v2?</p>
  <p>What I have tried:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Font effects working in earlier version.</li>
  <li>Font effects not working in version 2.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I read the following two offical links:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/css2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CSS API update</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Get Started with the Google Fonts API</a></li>
  </ul>
