HTML Fonts
HTML fonts plays a very important role in developing more user friendly websites and increasing content readability.
Font face and color depends entirely on the computer and the browser that is being used to view the page but
we can use HTML
<font> tag to add style, size, and color to the text on your website.

font tag has three attributes called
size,
color, and

customize the fonts. To change any of the font attributes at any time within your webpage, simply use the
<font> tag. The text that follows will remain changed until you close with the
</font> tag.
