Alright kiddo, so you know how when you’re on the internet, you can see words and letters on the screen? Those are called fonts! And some fonts are so popular and important that they are called “core fonts.”
Core fonts for the web are special fonts that are designed to work well on the internet. They are made by a company called Microsoft and include popular fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, and Georgia. Because they have been around for a long time and are used a lot, most computer systems already have them installed. That means when you visit a website that uses one of these “core fonts,” you can see it on your screen without any problems.
Without these special fonts, websites might not look the way they’re supposed to, or you might not be able to read the words at all. But because of core fonts for the web, we can enjoy reading all sorts of things on the internet with the right computer settings. So in a way, these core fonts are like the superheroes of the internet, making everything look nice and readable for us!
