What is a safe font and why is it important?

[oariful1997]

Web-safe fonts are already installed on most operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS. Using a web-safe font stack gives you the best chance of ensuring your text appears as intended and helps ensure your website is consistent for everyone.

If you use a font that the user's browser or operating system doesn't support, it will default to the one that the browser or site declares in HTML/CSS, which can significantly change the appearance of your content and affect users in many different ways.

Here are some reasons why web-safe fonts are important:

The choice of font is a reflection of your brand: For example, a romantic font like calligraphy would not reflect well if you run a non-profit website .
Fonts influence user experience: Web-safe fonts mean that readers can see your font as intended. For example, if you make a WordPress site with a font that's only supported by the latest version of Windows 10, many of your users will see something else.
Fonts influence sales: Yes, you read that right. Your font choices can impact female number data the number of sales you make. Customers who feel comfortable on a site, whether through social proof or simply reliable fonts, can gain consumer trust. This ultimately translates to increased sales and money in your pocket.
Here's the most important thing to remember when it comes to web-safe fonts:

“90% of internet users use a browser that supports @font-face. Not having a font stack that includes web-safe fonts and a generic font family means we don't control how our web design degrades for at least 10% of internet users. The time and effort required to use a simple CSS font stack that includes web-safe fonts is very small, so there's little reason not to continue doing so.”
