Are global styles and BEM incompatible concepts?

Question

css

Basic element styles (those that need to be redefined later) do not correspond to the BEM concept?
Can I write base styles for the body and then cascade them to other elements on the page. Or in BEM I have to set the font, color, etc. every time. for each block. Those. cascading inheritance is not about BEM?

Answer 1

Use a preprocessor. Set global styles for body, they will be inherited.

Answer 2

Hello.
You can set the base font and color.
If you need to use a custom font somewhere, you can create a block for this option and the font-face modifier to use in the desired blocks.
