Last Updated : 17 Jul, 2024

This class accepts a lot of font names in tailwind CSS in which all the properties are covered in class form. It is the alternative to the CSS font-family property. This class is used to specify the font of an element. It can have multiple fonts as a backup system i.e. if the browser does not support one font then the other can be used.

Font family classes:
