See the problem is with email HTML is that a lot of mail clients strip out styling. In this case, I'm going to copy a table from a page, and send it to a Mailchimp template. I wanted to take the table as it was on the site, strip out class data, and then insert the font tags for each one.

Its 1996 at its finest, which means there is a good chance the majority of email clients will render this font the way i want it to happen.
