What is a fallback font?

CSSJunior~1 min read

A fallback font is a backup font that is used if the primary one is unavailable. In CSS it is listed second and onward in the font-family list:

css

font-family: "Roboto", "Arial", sans-serif;

The browser will substitute Arial if Roboto fails to load, and if that is unavailable too, it will fall back to the system font from the sans-serif family.
