What are logical fonts?

Logical fonts are a type of font specification that allows the user to define font styles based on their intended use rather than specific typefaces. Instead of selecting a particular font, users specify attributes like "serif," "sans-serif," "monospace," or "cursive." This approach enables better flexibility and adaptability across different devices and platforms, as the system can substitute appropriate typefaces that match the specified characteristics. Logical fonts are particularly useful in web design and digital publishing for ensuring consistent typography.
