What text/css is

text/css is the type for stylesheets. Browsers require this exact type when loading a file via a <link rel="stylesheet"> — a wrong Content-Type can cause the CSS to be ignored.

How it's used

You'll see this as a Content-Type value on requests and responses — for example Content-Type: text/css. It's the type associated with the .css file extension. Text types are human-readable formats. On the web they're assumed to be UTF-8, and browsers can display them directly.
