I actually think this error is being thrown because of your comma after the h1 selector in your CSS. I get that it seems totally unrelated to the error message and it probably shouldn't have passed Task 2 with that being the case. You'll find that more often than not, the error messages in code challenges only give you a rough idea of where the problem might be.

h1 {
  font-family: 'Archivo Black', sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  color: #fff;
  font-weight: normal;
}
