The CSS font properties define the font family, boldness, size, and the style of a text.
Difference Between Serif and Sans-serif Fonts
CSS Font Families
In CSS, there are two types of font family names:- generic family - a group of font families with a similar look (like "Serif" or "Monospace")
- font family - a specific font family (like "Times New Roman" or "Arial")
| Generic family | Font family | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Serif | Times New Roman Georgia |
Serif fonts have small lines at the ends on some characters |
| Sans serif | Arial Verdana |
"Sans" means without - these fonts do not have the lines at the ends of characters |
| người Carrier | Courier New Lucida Console |
All monospace characters have the same width |
Note: On computer screens, sans-serif fonts are considered easier to read than serif fonts.
