Matplotlib - Title Font Family
Title fontfamily="Futura"

To set a specific font family for the title of the plot in Matplotlib, you can use fontfamily of the title() function.

plt.title('Sample Plot', fontfamily='serif')

You can replace 'serif' with other font family names such as 'sans-serif', 'monospace', or specific font names like 'Times New Roman' depending on your preference.

This customization allows you to tailor the appearance of your plot title to match the overall style of your visualizations.
