Quick Reference
The @font-face rule allows for the use of fonts other than “web-safe” fonts. A font name is defined for the font and then the custom font is pointed to it.
This is NOT specific to any elements. It is just used to load the font for use in the font-family property to apply to an element.
@font-face {
font-family: "Open Sans";
src: url("/fonts/opensans-regular-webfont.woff2") format("woff2"),
url("/fonts/opensans-regular-webfont.woff") format("woff");
}

We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
