Use the below CSS to customize the Grid root element.

.e-grid {
      font-family: cursive;
}

You can modify the grid styling appearance by overriding the default CSS style of the Grid.

In the following sample, the font family of grid content is changed to cursive, and the background color of rows, selected rows, alternate rows, and row hovering color is modified using the below CSS styles.

function App() {
    const pageOptions = {
        pageSize: 8
    };
    const settings = { type: 'Multiple' };
    return <GridComponent dataSource={data} allowPaging={true} pageSettings={pageOptions} selectionSettings={settings} height={315}>
