Font Family

The font-family property specifies the font for an element. There are two types of font family names: family-name - The name of a font-family, like times, courier, arial, etc. generic-family - The name of a generic-family, like serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy, monospace.

Examples

Multiple Font Families

Setting the font of a <p> element.

p{
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Syntax

font-family: value;

Tips

You can specify a list of fonts, from highest priority to lowest. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font.
When listing multiple font families, make sure to separate each value with a comma.
