CSS Fonts

The CSS font properties allow you to set various styles for fonts like font family, size and boldness, variant, etc. of a text.
Following are the properties:
  • font-family
  • font-size
  • font-style
  • font-variant
  • font-weight

Font-Family:

The font-family property can hold various font names as a fallback system.
If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the second font, and so on.
Write the font name that you want and end with a generic family because if fonts are not available then the browser picks a similar font in the generic family.
CSS font-family are two types:
Generic family: It contains Serif, Sans-serif, and Monospace.
Font family: It includes the font family name like Arial, New Times Roman, etc.

Example:

h1 {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}
Try it

Font-Size:

The font-size property is used to set the font size of an HTML element. The font-size can be set in following ways.

Setting Font Size with Keywords

By using a keyword, you can set the font-size of the element.
Absolute size is defined following keywords: xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large.
Relative size is defined using one of the following keywords: smaller, larger.

Example:

h1 {

font-size: large;

}

h2 {

font-size: larger;

}
Try it

Setting Font Size with Pixels

You can set the font-size in pixel values when you need the pixel accuracy.

Example:

h1 {

font-size: 20px;

}

h2 {

font-size: 18px;

}
Try it

Setting Font Size with Em

The font-size is set by using em (1em, 2em, etc) values also. If you set a font-size of 10px on the body element, then 1em = 10px. If you have not set the font-size then the browser default size probably 16px. So, by default 1em=16px.

Example:

h1 {

font-size: 1em;

}

h2 {

font-size: 2em;

}
Try it

Using the Combination of Percentage and Em

The solution to achieve a similar effect in all browsers is to set a default font-size in percentage for the <body> element.

Example:

body {

font-size: 100%;

}

h2 {

font-size: 1em;

}
Try it

Font Style:

This property is used to set the font style of an HTML element. It can be “normal, italic or oblique”.

Example:

h1 {

font-style: normal;

}

h2 {

font-style: italic;

}

h3 {

font-style: oblique;

}
Try it

Font Weight:

CSS font-weight property which used to define the weight or boldness of the font.
The possible values of font-weight may be normal, bold, bolder, lighter or number (100, 200….. up to 900).

Example:

h1 {

font-weight: normal;

}

h2 {

font-weight: bold;

}

h3 {

font-weight: 900;

}
Try it

Font Variant:

The font-variant property is used to set the text in special small-caps.
The values for the font-variant property are normal, small-caps and inherit.

Example:

h1 {

font-variant: normal;

}

h2 {

font-variant: small-caps;

}

h3 {

font-variant: inherit;

}
Try it
