The CSS font property is used to set the fonts content of HTML element. The font-family property specifies the font of an element. It can have multiple fonts as a backup system i.e. if the browser doesn’t support one font then the other can be used.

Syntax:

element_selector {
   font-family: fonts-name | initial | inherit;
}

Property values:

  • fonts-name: The names of the font in quotes separated by commas.
  • initial: It sets the property to its default value.
  • inherit: It inherits the property from the parent element.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
