Change the font family globally in Material-UI 3.x

Some say you should use the jsx-global-plugin like “@global body{fontFamily:’someFont’}” , but it doesn’t work in my project. The global CSS still has the lower CSS speciality than MUI components’ CSS because this global CSS is using a type selector.

You should use a theme instead

//create a theme 

const myTheme = createMuiTheme({
    typography: {
        fontFamily: "Roboto Condensed" 
    }
}


// use the theme

class MyComponent extends React.Component<Props> {

	... 
    render() {
        
            return (
                    <MuiThemeProvider theme={this.props.theme}>
                        <CssBaseline/>
                        <p>Some content</p>
                    </MuiThemeProvider>
                );
        
    }
}
