.headline {
font-family: "Marker Felt", "Segoe Script", cursive;
font-weight: 100;
}Wrapping the font in UIFontMetrics, or passing relativeTo: in SwiftUI, lets Marker Felt grow and shrink with the user’s Dynamic Type setting. Read the custom fonts guide for the full checklist, or the San Francisco guide if you want Apple’s system font instead.
