# Typography — CSS

Source: https://www.geekswithgeeks.com/en/css/css-typography

> Fonts, sizing, weight, and line spacing.

## The core typography properties

`font-family` the typeface stack, `font-size` character size, `font-weight` boldness (400 normal, 700 bold), `line-height` vertical spacing between lines.

## A readable paragraph

A line-height around 1.5-1.6 improves readability for body text.

```css
body {
  font-family: "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.6;
  font-weight: 400;
}
```

## Always list fallbacks

List several fonts, ending in a generic family (`sans-serif`, `serif`, `monospace`) — if the first font isn't installed, the browser tries the next.
