Introduction

LaTeX normally chooses the appropriate font and font size based on the logical structure of the document (e.g. sections). In some cases, you may want to set fonts and sizes by hand.

Font sizes

Font sizes are identified by special names, the actual size is not absolute but relative to the font size declared in the \documentclass statement (see Creating a document in LaTeX ).

Font families

By default, in standard LaTeX classes the default style for text is usually a Roman (upright) serif font. To use other styles ( families) such as sans serif, typewriter (monospace) etc. you need to use some specific LaTeX commands, as shown in the example below:
