I meant the font-family property.

The font-family property on the MDN web site mentions to list the font names when using font-family for a given selector, for example;
font-family: "<name of font>","<name of font>";

While the font face property you can list the name of the font and if you're hosting the font, the URL of the font location to which I want to do. Not sure if it works with a given selector, as it's not working for me ?

@font-face
font-family:"<name of font>"
url("");

When using @font-family is it placed within the rule as such;

<html tag>  {@font-family {font-family properties} } ?

Hmm, there is no such thing as a @font-family at-ruleā€¦
Do you mean the font-family property, which takes a list of font-families as 
value and that you can declare on any selector you want.
Or do you mean the @font-face at-rule, which is used to link to a downloadable 
font ? You don't declare that on any element or selector. It is a sort of 
container block that at minimum contains a source for the font and a descriptor
@font-face {
        font-family: 'my ugly font'; /* descriptor */
        src: url(/path/to/my-ugly-font.woff) format('woff');
}
(I usually insert that near the top of my stylesheets, but it can go any place)
