CSS styling questions

So, I’m just curious about this...

Is it frowned upon to put styling on nested divs rather than the parent divs? For example, giving a child div a font-family property rather than the parent div?

Also, I tend to rely on class names rather than ID’s, using ID’s for sections, and class names for everything else (including navigation menus), for example? Even though there’s one of each.

You should use class name in your html as img, a tags , span, and divs for sections, articicles, asides etc.
