font-family

The font-family CSS property specifies a prioritized list of one or more font family names and/or generic family names for the selected element.

Values are separated by commas to indicate that they are alternatives. The browser will select the first font in the list that is installed or that can be downloaded using a @font-face at-rule.

It is often convenient to use the shorthand property font to set font-size and other font related properties all at once.

You should always include at least one generic family name in a font-family list, since there’s no guarantee that any given font is available. This lets the browser select an acceptable fallback font when necessary.

Syntax example: font-family: “Gill Sans Extrabold”, sans-serif;
