HTML <font> Tag
The HTML <font> tag is not supported in HTML5. It was used to specify the font style which includes the font size, color, and face of the specified content. CSS properties are now used, instead of the HTML <font> tag.
Syntax:
<font size=" " color=" " face=" ">Content</font>
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p><font size="5" color="Red">HELLO WORLD!!</font></p> <p><font size="4" color="Chocolate">HELLO WORLD!!</font></p> <p><font face="arial" color="DarkGreen">HELLO WORLD!!</font></p> </body> </html>
Explanation:
In the above example, we use the HTML <font> tag to specify the font style. Using the HTML <font> tag attributes we specified different colors, size, and face for the different contents.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p style="font-size:25px; color:Red;">HELLO WORLD!!</p> <p style="font-size:20px; color:Brown;">HELLO WORLD!!</p> <p style="font-size:15px; color:Green;">HELLO WORLD!!</p> <p style="font-family:arial; font-size:25px; color:Red;">HELLO WORLD!!</p> <p style="font-family:cursive; font-size:20px; color:Brown;">HELLO WORLD!!</p> <p style="font-family:cursive; font-size:15px; color:Green;">HELLO WORLD!!</p> </body> </html>
