{{font}} is used to define text styles, for example, size and color. It can also be used to inject CSS. This can be useful when needed to change "I" in Arial to "{{ safesubst:#if: I |I|{{{text}}}}}" in Times New Roman, since in Arial, uppercase "I" looks the same as lowercase "L".

Use

{{font|TEXT(or「text=TEXT」)|font=FONT|size=SIZE（px/em/pt/%)|color=COLOR|bgcolor=BACKGROUND COLOR|css=CSS}}

Note that for accessibility reasons MOS:FONTSIZE says: "No text should be reduced below 85% of the page's default font size." Also, font sizes should be set as percentages, not fixed font sizes, because: "This improves accessibility for visually impaired users who use a large default font size."

If a table has been set overall to style="font-size:90%;", then setting an individual cell to {{font|size=85%|...}} actually is 0.85 of 0.9 which is 76.5%.
