How can you import custom fonts in CSS?

Importing Custom Fonts with @font-face in CSS

@font-face is a CSS rule that allows you to load and use fonts that are not installed on a user's system. This ensures consistent typography across different browsers and devices.

Key Points About @font-face

1
Declare a custom font family name using font-family.
2
Provide the source of the font using the src property pointing to font files (woff2, woff, ttf, eot, svg).
3
Define font style and weight (font-style, font-weight) for flexibility.
4
Use multiple @font-face rules for different weights or styles of the same font family.

Example: Importing a Custom Font

In this example, the Roboto font is loaded from local font files. If it fails to load, the browser falls back to Arial or the default sans-serif font. You can define separate @font-face rules for bold, italic, or other styles of Roboto.

Best Practices

1
Always include fallback fonts to ensure readability if the custom font fails to load.
2
Use multiple font formats for cross-browser compatibility.
3
Combine with CSS text properties (font-weight, font-style, font-variant) for styling.
4
Host fonts efficiently to reduce page load times and improve performance.
5
Use font-display: swap; to control how text is displayed while fonts load.
