The @font-face rule lets you specify custom fonts for your website. Here's how to use it effectively:
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyCustomFont';
src: url('fonts/mycustomfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('fonts/mycustomfont.woff') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-display: swap;
}body {
font-family: 'MyCustomFont', Arial, sans-serif;
}
h1 {
font-family: 'MyCustomFont', Georgia, serif;
}/* Regular */
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyFont';
src: url('myfont-regular.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
}
/* Bold */
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyFont';
src: url('myfont-bold.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: 700;
font-style: normal;
}
/* Italic */
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyFont';
src: url('myfont-italic.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: 400;
font-style: italic;
