Build resilient typography

A good font stack protects your layout when the preferred face is unavailable and still feels intentional across platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to type quotes around font names with spaces?

No. You can add `IBM Plex Sans` plainly, and the tool will quote it for you when it builds the final `font-family` value.

Which names stay unquoted in the output?

Generic families like `serif`, `sans-serif`, and `monospace`, plus platform tokens like `-apple-system` and `BlinkMacSystemFont`, are intentionally left unquoted.

Can I reorder fallbacks after adding them?

Yes. Every stack item has up and down controls, and the generated CSS updates immediately after each move.

Does it prevent duplicates or invalid font names?

No. It appends whatever you add after trimming outer quotes. If you add the same family twice, both entries remain in the stack.

What does Clear remove?

Clear empties the entire stack, not just the custom-font input. After that, the preview and output show an empty `font-family:` line until you add or apply a preset.
