Putting it in your main.css like you did is correct. You just seem to have some typos in that part of your code.

Try

h1 {
  font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif;
}

You've selected the h1 element twice and also did some typing mistakes. Try the rule provided by Claudiu in above answer. And things will work great.

You are very close Andre, you typed h1 again after you already selected the element

Your code:

h1 {h1 {font-family:'changa one; sans-serif;}

If you delete the second h1 and open curly brace that needs to change first. Secondly in the rule there should be a comma after 'Changa One' as the sans serif is an alternative font in case Changa One can't be loaded by the browser. After that it should look like this

h1 {
  font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif;
}

That should all you need to fix it
