# Font Family
{% hint style="warning" %}
It is not recommended to use too many font families. Every font family you add to a block increases your page file size, slowing down your overall page speed.
{% endhint %}
The Font Family property sets the font face that should be used for the specific text of the element.
Font families are inherited by default. If your block's parent has a set font family, that font family will automatically be applied to every child block. No need to add the same font family for every child block.
You can apply a font family to every Cwicly block. The Font Family property is specific to the block and its children.
***Google Fonts*** Google Fonts is a library of more than a thousand free and open source font families. The font files are stored on Google servers.
