How do I get multiple fonts in one page?

I want my header, witch says Sara Parker, in one font and the text under and the rest to be some other font. Also in different font-sizes. Can someone please explain to me how to do this?

My code: https://w.trhou.se/45hpcvkpqw

in your main.css files

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-family

your would add the the font name and size there

h1 {
// Pick a new font-family
  font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
  margin: 15px 0;

//font size
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
  line-height: 3.8em;
}

A couple different ways to do that it's look for the <tag> that you like to change.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity#Selector_Types

The details in the spec are actually reasonably readable. In summary:

!important rules and inline style rules win most.

Otherwise, normally the more specific wins. #id is a more specific selector than .classname is a more specific selector than tagname.

Where rules are equally specific, the one declared last wins
