# --description--

You can set which font an element should use, by using the `font-family` property.

For example, if you wanted to set your `h2` element's font to `sans-serif`, you would use the following CSS:

```css
h2 {
  font-family: sans-serif;
}
```

# --instructions--

Make all of your `p` elements use the `monospace` font.

# --hints--

Your `p` elements should use the font `monospace`.

```js
const notRed = document.querySelector('p:not(.red-text)');
const fontFamily = window.getComputedStyle(notRed)['font-family']; 
assert.match(fontFamily, /monospace/i);
```
