Typography issues

Hi,
I have the following typography issues:
-cannot change body font (font size yes)
-cannot change tagline font size (font yes)
Everything else seems to work fine as far as typography is concerned.
The website is on local host with GP as a child theme, no plugins installed besides GP Premium. Everything updated.
Tried on Firefox and Chrome, makes no difference.
Could it be that the child theme cannot override some parent settings?
(I don't know anything about coding)
Thank you for your attention.

Is there anything in your GP child theme style.css file?
Update to typography issues: going back to the parent theme everything works fine. I set everything the way I wanted and switched to the child again: still have the same issues. And I really wouldn't want to go without the child theme.
Any idea?

Thank you Tom! I deleted that small import@... thing and everything seems fine now. Love the theme!

Great to hear! :)
For some reason the plugin Childify Me
added the following to the child theme it generated from GeneratePress:
@import url("../generatepress/style.css");
This caused problems in customizing the typography. Changes would not register, be stored, or would spontaneously be changed. Weird.
Removing this line restored normal function.
Thanks for documenting this Tom. https://docs.generatepress.com/article/child-theme-issues/
It was driving me nuts.
Yea, that's an old way to include the parent CSS which isn't very good for performance.
Glad the article helped :)
