Use an h2 CSS selector to change the font.
The font-family is not supposed to be in .red-text
.

Hey, I am facing similar issue and want to understand why is it wrong? I am basically using a class .red-text which has font-family and assigning it to h2 right, then why is it wrong?

You should add a CSS rule for h2
, then set the font-family
there. The font-family
shouldn’t be in the rules for .red-text
.
But in my code, the h2 is changing to Lobster font too, right? So, why do I need to create an h2 CSS again?
Yes, it changes the <h2>
's font, but it also changes the next <p>
's font, since it also has the red-text
class.
