So far in my process I have been using Eric Meyers 2.0 reset for my pages. Something that I have noticed is that when I try to use font-family: while using his reset it just simply wont work. If I use the same rule down in body{} then I can get the desired effect. I've been able to mimic the same behavior on codepen. I've looked through the reset to see why this is happening. One thing I see is that there is a large list of general selectors and one of the declarations is font: inherit. I commented out this line and the font changed.
My question is, why would that line stop * {font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif} from being applied to the rest of the document?
