Icons: Google — Code Challenge
Put plan icon font fallbacks into practice. Rebuild the example from its HTML, then compare your result with the CSS solution. Change the content and the viewport before calling it finished.
How it works
- Material icon libraries can use fonts or SVG assets. Choose a delivery method and retain a visible label; this example uses a plain arrow so it works offline.
- Typography should remain readable when the browser zooms or a visitor substitutes their own font. Start with comfortable line length and line height.
- Inspect the specific property in the example, then compare the heading, body text, and badge. They may inherit different values.
Your task
Use the HTML below to explore this rule: Material icon libraries can use fonts or SVG assets. Choose a delivery method and retain a visible label; this example uses a plain arrow so it works offline. Write your own CSS before opening the solution. Then replace the heading with a longer one and verify that the content is still readable.
Review the CSS solution
.badge::before { content: "→"; margin-inline-end: .5em; }
A solution to compare
The HTML supplies the content; the CSS below styles it. Open both together in the playground, then change the lesson rules at the end of the stylesheet.
<article class="card"><span class="badge">This Saturday</span><h2>Neighbourhood repair club</h2><p>Bring a small project. Share a useful skill.</p><a href="#booking">View the workshop</a></article>
