Understand font fallback
Typography is a system, not just a pretty name

The browser chooses fonts character by character

The font-family property lists priorities, but the final font depends on the operating system, installed fonts, language, glyph coverage and available weights. A useful preview tests real text, numbers, accents and weight variations to reveal issues before publishing an interface.

How to test a stack

Write the text that will actually be used

  1. Type a sample with relevant accents, numbers and punctuation.
  2. Enter the family name and a reliable generic fallback.
  3. Copy the CSS and test it in the final environment because installed fonts vary by system.
