CSS @font-face - font-family
The CSS descriptor font-family is useful in setting the font family for a font specified in an @font-face rule.
The font-family can set any name for the font, and which will override any name given in underlying font data. The name provided matches against a specific @font-face when styling elements using the font-family property.
The font-family descriptor should not to be confused with the font-family property. The font-family descriptor is used solely with the @font-face at-rule to name a font. The font-family property is then used elsewhere in the style sheet to refer to that font.
Possible Values
The CSS descriptor font-family takes just one value, which is as follows:
<family-name>: Defines the name of the font-family.
Syntax
font-family: <font-family>;
Few ways in which font-family> is declared is as follows:
/* <string> value */ font-family: "sample font"; /* <custom-ident> value */ font-family: sampleFont;
CSS font-family - String Value
Following example demonstartes the way the font-family descriptor is used to set the name of a font family, where value is passed as a <string> value:
<html> <head> <style> /* font-family is used to set a name as a string value */ @font-face { font-family: "sample font"; src: local(Arial Bold); descent-override: 70%; } h1.with-override { font-family: "sample font"; } h1 { border: 2px solid red; width: max-content; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>No Descent Override</h1> <h1 class="with-override">Descent Override Applied</h1> </body> </html>
CSS font-family - custom-ident Value
Following example demonstartes the way the font-family descriptor is used to set the name of a font family, where value is passed as a <custom-ident> value:
<html> <head> <style> /* font-family is used to set a name as a <custom-ident> value */ @font-face { font-family: sampleFont; src: local(Arial Bold); descent-override: 70%; } h1.with-override { font-family: sampleFont; } h1 { border: 2px solid red; width: max-content; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>No Descent Override</h1> <h1 class="with-override">Descent Override Applied</h1> </body> </html>
