a guide to google web-fonts.
So you're interested in Google Fonts? Well, ❥ kenney. has taken the liberty in making a guide easy for members to follow. Please note that to use Google Fonts you must have some knowledge of internal styling. That means you must know what the "div" tag is and how to use it. However, it does not require that you know how to code CSS or the like! The div tag is quite simple and easy to figure out. However, if you're interested in using it, be sure you have read a couple of tutorials on it. For simplicity's sake, I'll explain to you [in a basic way] what the div tag does. The div tag utilizing HTML styles -- Simple as that. Well, not as simple. However, that's as in-depth I'll go since that is a whole other topic that would take this off of the original course it was meant to go. Now, shall we continue?

serif, sans-serif, & cursive.
You may or may not be familiar with the styles "serif," "sans-serif," and "cursive." In this part of the guide, I will explain to you what these are and how they are used.
Serif fonts are fonts that have small lines at the ends of letters. Generic (web-safe) serif fonts include: Georgia, "Times New Roman," Palatino, "Book Antiqua" and more.
This type of class in font-families is utilized by Google Fonts like this:
[div style="font-family: 'Canterell', Serif;"]some text here[/div] An example of a non-web-safe or Google font that is of the serif family would be Old Standard TT
As for sans-serif fonts, these are the fonts without small lines at the ends/tips of the letters.
Web-safe or generic fonts of the sans-serif family would be: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, and more.
This type of class in font-families is utilized by Google Fonts like this:
[div style="font-family: 'Quicksand', Sans-serif;"]some text here.[/div] An example of a non-web-safe or Google font that is of the serif family would be Quicksand.
This one you can probably easily guess what is-- These are elegant, cursive fonts.
Web-safe or generic fonts of the cursive family would include: none.
This type of class in font-families is utilized by Google Fonts like this:
[div style="font-family: 'Lobster', Cursive"]some text here.[/div]
An example of a non-web-safe or Google font that is of the cursive family would be Yellowtail.
