`font-family` CSS at-rule descriptor

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It's been available across browsers since September 2016.

The font-family CSS descriptor sets the font family for a font specified in an @font-face at-rule.

The value is used for name matching against a particular @font-face when styling elements using the font-family property. Any name may be used, and this overrides any name specified in the underlying font data.
