In your CSS your H1 is missing the colon after "font-family". Also remove the "+" in between Eagle Lake. The challenge wants you to include "sans-serif" as a backup for your H1.

So the code should look something like this

h1 {
  font-family: 'Eagle Lake', sans-serif; 
  margin:  15px o;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
  line-height: 0.8em;
}
