A 'font-family' is a group of fonts that exhibit similar characteristics. The 'font-family' property indicates a prioritized list of specific/generic font family names to use to display text content in the current container. At least one specific or general font family must be given. If the specified font does not exist, or the necessary glyph is not available in the specified font, the next font is tried. This process continues through the prioritized list until no more are available. If no match is made, the browser default font family should be used.

 

font-family: arial, "lucida console", sans-serif
