Global and local styling: Every Layout
When people talk about the global nature of CSS, they can mean one of a few different things. They may be referring to rules on the :root or <body> elements that are inherited globally (with just a few exceptions). :root { /* ↓ Now (almost) all elements display a sans-serif font */ font-family: sans-serif; } Alternatively, they may mean using the unqualified * selector to style all elements directly.

Defining Global Styles | CSS-Tricks
March 1, 2023 - We already covered top-level styles in Part 2. By “top-level” we mean styles that are applied globally on the root element (<html>) as well as the <body>. These styles are “top-level” in the sense they are inherited by everything in the theme by default. The classic example in CSS is setting a default font size on the <body> element:

None of it is, actually, since the point of style sheets is that they let you define appearance without disturbing the document's structure. but never mind that now. Now that it's been entered into your text editor, you'll want to save the above text to a file called general.css.

r/webdev on Reddit: Do you have your own global.css file?
October 16, 2024 -

As someone who's learning about Web Dev (with React), I just noticed how handy a global.css file is for keeping the same look across all of the pages and components.
I'd establish a palette of at least 5 matching colors to use. I'd set responsive font sizes for different devices. I could also set how buttons should look like and behave. And so on...

Question is, is this a common practice? Is that how you or your company keep the styles unified for every single project's frontend?

Example:

.global-title {
  font-size: 0.8rem;
  font-weight: 600;
}
/* Medium screens */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .global-title {
    font-size: 1rem; 
  }
}
/* Large screens  */
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .global-title {
    font-size: 1.2rem;  
  }
}
