Despite configuring the typography details, the custom components were not utilizing the desired font-family. Instead, everything defaulted to the Roboto font, which is standard for Angular Material.
The Solution
The key to resolving this typography issue lies in properly including the font-family directly within the typography map during its definition. Here's how the solution looks in practice:

In your typography configuration, ensure that you explicitly define the font-family within the define-typography-config function:
