My client has asked for a custom font to be used for the headings throughout the website. I have attempted to manually set the font in the header.php and then call that font to the Typography section of the CSS. However, I have not met with much success. Can you offer any solution if a client does not want to use any of the fonts available from Google.

Note: They have purchased a licence for their preferred font and I have a local copy available.

Code added to header.php
@font-face { font-family: Shimes; src: url(‘fonts/ShimesOne.ttf’); }

Code added to style.css
/* #Typography
================================================== */
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .heading_font {
color: #333;
font-family: “Shimes”, “Montserrat”, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Sure, you would overwrite your header.php template in your Child theme first and include the font in it the regular way.
Then simply override all headings to inherit that font, basically close to what you did.
May I see the URL so I can possibly see what might be going wrong?
