❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the generated CSS?

Copy the CSS code and apply it to any element (e.g., p, .my-text). For Google Fonts, remember to add the <link> tags (included as comments) to your HTML <head>.

Why doesn't the font weight change for some fonts?

Not all fonts include every weight. Web‑safe fonts have limited weights; Google Fonts usually include multiple weights if you select the correct style. The tool loads the default version; for full weight families you may need to add the weight explicitly in the Google Fonts URL.

What does "unitless line height" mean?

Unitless line height (e.g., 1.5) is relative to the element's font size. It's the recommended practice for responsiveness.

Can I use this tool for commercial projects?

Absolutely! All fonts used are either web‑safe (system fonts) or free Google Fonts, licensed for commercial use.

🧠 Why Preview Fonts?

Testing fonts in different sizes, weights, and spacing helps you understand their personality and readability. A font that looks great in a headline might not work well for body text. This tool lets you fine‑tune typography before writing a single line of code.
