Hey there Matteo,

the problem why you're not passing this task is that you have to use sans-serif as a fallback but you're using sans-serif as the only font. You should use the font you chose from google fonts as a first font (in your case Roboto) and then sans-serif as a fallback. So if you add Roboto to the value of the font-family property it should work.

Like so:

h1 {
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
  color: #fff;
}

I hope that helps, good luck! :)
