Definition:
There are two types of CSS Font Family i.e, generic family and font family. The Generic family like “Serif” and “Monospace” have a similar font family and the font-family like “Times New Roman” and “Arial” have a specific font family.
The font-family property is used to set the text of the font family. It is specified by more than one font family by separating with commas. If your browser does not support the first font, it tries the second font, and so on.
Syntax:
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;Property Value:
- Arial
