Fonts for the web should be chosen carefully; the maximum number of fonts that should be used is two, and the font should be easy to read. There are no limitations with only using web safe fonts that can be preinstalled on devices, have limited options and the users have no control over what the users have installed. Web fonts do not need to be installed on devices. The web font generator is free and has licences for usage. Google fonts have a wide selection of fonts to choose from and have different categories to narrow down the search process. 

The font family properties define the font and are used to group fonts; two different font family names are available, which are ‘family name’ and ‘generic family.’
