How to create a custom font stack in CSS?

Creating a custom font stack in CSS allows you to specify a prioritized list of fonts for a web page. This ensures that if a particular font is unavailable, the browser will fall back to the next one in the list.

A custom font stack is declared using the font-family property, providing a comma-separated list of font names.

Syntax

body {
    font-family: 'CustomFont', Arial, sans-serif;
}

• The first choice is 'CustomFont', which is a specific font.
• If CustomFont is not available, the browser will use 'Arial'.
• If neither Helvetica nor Arial is available, the browser will fall back to a generic sans-serif font.

Features

• Font Prioritization: Fonts are listed in order of preference, and the browser will attempt to use the first available font.
• Fallback Fonts: If the primary custom font is not available, the browser will attempt to use the next font in the list.
• Generic Font Families: Generic font families like serif, sans-serif, monospace can be used as fallbacks for different font styles.
• Local Fonts: You can include locally stored fonts in the font stack.
