CSSFontFaceDescriptors

The CSSFontFaceDescriptors interface represents a CSS declaration block for an @font-face at-rule.

Each descriptor in the body of the corresponding @font-face at-rule can be accessed using either its kebab-case property name in bracket notation or the camel-case version of the property name in dot notation. For example, you can access the font-family CSS descriptor as style["font-family"] or style.fontFamily, where style is a CSSFontFaceDescriptors instance.

Note: The CSSFontFaceRule interface represents a @font-face at-rule, and the CSSFontFaceRule.style property is an instance of this object.
