influence about how visitors or the viewers interact with a website. Using appropriate typeface
may help you establish a powerful brand identity. It is critical to have a simple typeface. Your
message will be more valuable because of the typeface. It is also critical to select the
appropriate font color and size.

3. Discuss the reason why we have to assign more than one font names in font-family property.
We have to assign more than one font names in font-Family property because so that we can
achieve optimal interoperability amongst browsers/operating platforms, the font-family field
should store many font names as a "fallback" mechanism. Begin with the font users desire and
work your way down to a basic family (to let the browser pick a similar font in the generic
family, if no other fonts are available). A comma must be used to split the font names.
