How does h1 affect h2 and body fonts?

So we changed the font of h1 to the new google font, but I'm unclear as to why we need to tweak it so that h2 and body don't take on those values?

Since the rule says h1 {blah blah blah}, why would it affect h2 or body?

Am I understanding this wrong? It brings up a multitude of questions about cascading rules. Thanks for any guidance you can give on this :)

Hi Ronda,

It looks to me like you're thinking about this right. Without seeing the actual code used to implement the font, it's hard to say, but if the rule is truly targeting only h1, and that's the only place you're implementing the font, I don't think it should affect h2 or body at all.
