CSS font stacks explained

A font stack is a comma-separated list of fonts in the font-family CSS property. The browser uses the first font it can find, falling back through the list until it reaches a generic keyword (sans-serif, serif, monospace). System font stacks like system-uiload instantly because they use fonts already installed on the user's OS — ideal for UI text where performance matters. For custom web fonts (Google Fonts etc.), pair the stack with a @font-face declaration. To build a full design token system with font choices and colors, try the CSS Variables Generator.
