## Font stack

By default, Just the Docs uses a native system font stack for sans-serif fonts:

```scss
-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "helvetica neue", helvetica, roboto, noto, "segoe ui", arial, sans-serif
```

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ  
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
{: .fs-5 .ls-10 .code-example }

For monospace type, like code snippets or the pre `<pre>` element, Just the Docs uses a native system font stack for monospace fonts:

```scss
"SFMono-Regular", Menlo, Consolas, Monospace
```

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ  
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
{: .fs-5 .ls-10 .text-mono .code-example }
