CSS Fallback Fonts

Commonly Used Fallback Fonts

There are no 100% completely web safe fonts. There is always a chance that a font is not found or is not installed properly. Therefore, it is very important to always use fallback fonts.

This means that you should add a list of similar "backup fonts" in the font-family property. If the first font does not work, the browser will try the next one, and the next one, and so on. Always end the list with a generic font family name.

Below are some commonly used fallback fonts, organized by the 5 generic font families:

  • Serif
  • Sans-serif
  • Monospace
  • Cursive
  • Fantasy
