+Material Web defaults to using the [Roboto](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto) font for text, and the [Material Icons](https://google.github.io/material-design-icons/) font for icons. These fonts
 are *not* automatically loaded, so it is the application's responsiblity to ensure that they are loaded.
 
 Note that if you load the Material Icons font in a different way to the recommendation shown above, be sure to include [`font-display: block`](https://google.github.io/material-design-icons/) in your `@font-face` CSS rule. This prevents icons from initially displaying their raw *ligature* text before the font has loaded. The `<link>` tag recommended above automaticaly handles this setting.
