You can set following font properties of an element − The font-family property is used to change the face of a font. The font-style property is used to make a font italic or oblique. The font-variant property is used to create a small-caps effect. The font-weight property is used to increase or decrease how bold or light a font appears. The font-size property is used to increase or decrease the size of a font. The font property is used as shorthand to specify a number of other font properties. Set the Font Family Following is the example, which demonstrates how to set the font family of an element. Possible value could be any font family name.
