Examples

Setting the small-caps font variant

The following finds a local Open Sans font or imports it, and allows using the font for small-caps.

@font-face {
  font-family: "Open Sans";
  src: local("Open Sans") format("woff2"),
       url("/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff") format("woff");
  font-variant: small-caps;
}
