It should be working. Take a look at this JSBin. I just copied and pasted your code and added a test h1.

Let me know if have anything setup differently or still can't get it to work.

Sorry to bother you.... my font is not working. I tried copy and pasting the same thing you put in JSBin. It did not work when I previewed. Could it be a problem in the rest of my code?

Possibly. Is there any way you can post your entire code [HTML & CSS]? Either here or in a codepen/jsbin.
