HTML - <font> Tag

The HTML <font> tag is used to specify the font of the text.

The <font> tag is no longer recommended as it is deprecated in HTML5. Instead of using this tag, we can use the CSS properties to change the font size, color, etc.

Example

Let's look at the following example, where we are going to use the font tag

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <title>HTML font Tag</title>
</head>
<body>
   <font face = "cursive,serif" color = "#ff9900" size = "4">
      The HTML font tag is now deprecated. You should use start using CSS to set
      font size and family.
   </font>
</body>
</html>

When we run the above code, it will generate an output consisting of the text applied with CSS on the webpage
