<p><span class="seoSummary">The <strong><code>@font-face</code></strong> <a href="/en-US/docs/CSS">CSS</a> <a href="/en-US/docs/CSS/At-rule">at-rule</a> specifies a custom font with which to display text; the font can be loaded from either a remote server or a locally-installed font on the user's own computer.</span></p>

<dt>{{cssxref("@font-face/font-display", "font-display")}}</dt>
<dd>Determines how a font face is displayed based on whether and when it is downloaded and ready to use.</dd>

<dt>{{cssxref("@font-face/font-stretch", "font-stretch")}}</dt>
<dd>A {{cssxref("font-stretch")}} value. Since Firefox 61 (and in other modern browsers) this also accepts two values to specify a range that is supported by a font-face, for example <code>font-stretch: 50% 200%;</code></dd>
<dt>{{cssxref("@font-face/font-style", "font-style")}}</dt>
<dd>A {{cssxref("font-style")}} value. Since Firefox 61 (and in other modern browsers) this also accepts two values to specify a range that is supported by a font-face, for example <code>font-style: oblique 20deg 50deg;</code></dd>

<dt>{{cssxref("@font-face/src", "src")}}</dt>
<dd>
<p>Specifies the resource containing the font data. This can be a URL to a remote font file location or the name of a font on the user's computer.</p>
<p>To provide the browser with a hint as to what format a font resource is — so it can select a suitable one — it is possible to include a format type inside a <code>format()</code> function:</p>
<pre class="brush: css notranslate">src: url(ideal-sans-serif.woff) <strong>format("woff")</strong>,
url(basic-sans-serif.ttf) <strong>format("truetype")</strong>;</pre>
<p>The available types are: <code>"woff"</code>, <code>"woff2"</code>, <code>"truetype"</code>, <code>"opentype"</code>, <code>"embedded-opentype"</code>, and <code>"svg"</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>{{cssxref("@font-face/unicode-range", "unicode-range")}}</dt>
<dd>The range of Unicode code points to be used from the font.</dd>
</dl>
<h2 id="Description">Description</h2>
<p>If the <code>local()</code> function is provided, specifying a font name to look for on the user's computer, and the {{Glossary("user agent")}} finds a match, that local font is used. Otherwise, the font resource specified using the <code>url()</code> function is downloaded and used.</p>
<p>By allowing authors to provide their own fonts, <code>@font-face</code> makes it possible to design content without being limited to the so-called "web-safe" fonts (that is, the fonts which are so common that they're considered to be universally available). The ability to specify the name of a locally-installed font to look for and use makes it possible to customize the font beyond the basics while making it possible to do so without relying on an Internet connection.</p>
<p>It's common to use both <code>url()</code> and <code>local()</code> together, so that the user's installed copy of the font is used if available, falling back to downloading a copy of the font if it's not found on the user's device.</p>
<p>The <code>@font-face</code> at-rule may be used not only at the top level of a CSS, but also inside any <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/At-rule#Conditional_group_rules">CSS conditional-group at-rule</a>.</p>

<li>Web fonts are subject to the same domain restriction (font files must be on the same domain as the page using them), unless <a href="/en-US/docs/HTTP_access_control">HTTP access controls</a> are used to relax this restriction.</li>
<li><code>@font-face</code> cannot be declared within a CSS selector. For example, the following will not work:
<pre class="brush: css; example-bad notranslate">.className {
@font-face {
font-family: MyHelvetica;
src: local("Helvetica Neue Bold"),
local("HelveticaNeue-Bold"),
url(MgOpenModernaBold.ttf);
font-weight: bold;

<h3 id="Specifying_a_downloadable_font">Specifying a downloadable font</h3>
<p>This example simply specifies a downloadable font to use, applying it to the entire body of the document:</p>
<p><a href="https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/7775/webfont-sample.html">View the live example</a></p>
<pre class="brush: html notranslate"><html>
<head>
<title>Web Font Sample</title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen, print">
@font-face {
font-family: "Bitstream Vera Serif Bold";
src: url("https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/2468/VeraSeBd.ttf");
}
body { font-family: "Bitstream Vera Serif Bold", serif }
</style>
</head>
<body>
This is Bitstream Vera Serif Bold.
</body>
</html>
</pre>
<p>In this example, the user's local copy of "Helvetica Neue Bold" is used; if the user does not have that font installed (two different names are tried), then the downloadable font named "MgOpenModernaBold.ttf" is used instead:</p>
<pre class="brush: css notranslate">@font-face {
font-family: MyHelvetica;
src: local("Helvetica Neue Bold"),
local("HelveticaNeue-Bold"),
url(MgOpenModernaBold.ttf);
font-weight: bold;
}
