Fontfamilylijst

Fontfamilylijst is the Dutch term for an ordered list of font families used to render text. The list functions as a priority chain: the rendering engine attempts the first font, and if it is unavailable, it falls back to the next font in the sequence. This approach helps maintain legibility and a consistent appearance across different systems, browsers, and devices.

In CSS, the font-family property expresses a fontfamilylijst. It accepts a comma-separated list of family names and generic family keywords. Names that contain spaces or special characters should be quoted. Example: font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-family: 'Inter', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif;

Practical use involves placing the preferred font first and adding reliable fallbacks. Avoid overly long lists to keep load times reasonable, and ensure that web fonts are loaded with performance-conscious strategies such as font-display: swap. When possible, test typography on target platforms to confirm that the chosen font family sequence yields the desired look.

Fontfamilylijst is a common concept in typography, web design, and UI design workflows. It provides a structured way to manage typography across environments while supporting accessibility and brand consistency.
