Change Font-family of nav-links in Bootstrap 5?

Question

How do you change the font-family of nav-links in Bootstrap 5? I tried,

.navbar a { 
  font-family: 'Custom-Font' !important; 
}

.navbar  { 
  font-family: 'Custom-Font' !important; 
}

.nav-link { 
  font-family: 'Custom-Font' !important; 
}

But none works.

Strange. I was able to change the font-family so easily. Maybe you forgot to add the font link or you didn't link it correctly to your CSS?

.navbar a {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
}

I also tried getting a font from Google Fonts, and it worked.

Here is a working example with Google Fonts.

.navbar a {
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}
