Hello kraftomatic,
Putting a font and font-size on everything by using the * doesn't seem like a good idea at all, but if you're stuck with it you just need to be more specific. Specificity can be a little difficult to figure out sometimes but it's the answer to your question.
Some will suggest the !important property but I don't like using it.

See this article on the subject.
