How to change header menu font?

[Tanya]

Hello!

I'm using Balance Child Theme.
I've changed the text area font, now it's 'Times' and it's OK. But the font on header menu changed as well. How can I change it back (only the header menu font) to Helvetica?

I've tried to add this line:

font-family: Helvetica, 'Lora', Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times;

here:

#header .menu {
	float: right;
        font-family: Helvetica, 'Lora', Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times;
}

The font changed but it also became bold...
Then I tried to add one more line:

#header .menu {
	float: right;
        font-family: Helvetica, 'Lora', Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times;
       font-weight: 100;
}

It didn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas how could I change only the header menu font without making it bold?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Tanya

Perhaps include nav selector?

Thank you for suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't help...

Try adding to style.css

#header .menu a {
    font-family: Helvetica, 'Lora', Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times;
}

Thank you. I added font-family: Helvetica, 'Lora', Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times;
Now I have this in my style.css:

.menu-primary a,
.menu-secondary a,
#header .menu a {
	color: #222;
	display: block;
	padding: 6px 15px 5px;
	position: relative;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-family: Helvetica, 'Lora', Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times;
}

The font is changed. BUT unfortunately, the letters became bold. Do you know what code should I add to make these letters normal?

Thanx in advance.

Are you sure the letters are bold? I have looked at it in various browsers and I don't see bold.

Here is a screenshot how it was before: http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/Header-menu-font-before.jpg
You know, I just chose the another font (Century Gothic), now it's OK, it doesn't look bold. I also change the font of post titles to Century Gothic, now I like it better.

Thank you very much for your help!
