first in Form1.Designer.cs, make all three labels declarations as "public".

in Form2 if from Combbox font selected is "Calibri", then on Save click, write below code. Jst replace "Calibri" with whichever font selected.

C#

Font objFont = new Font("Calibri", 9, FontStyle.Bold);

Form1 objForm1 = new Form1();
objForm1.label1.Font = objFont;
objForm1.label2.Font = objFont;
objForm1.label3.Font = objFont;
objForm1.Show();

I am vb.net developer not so fluent in C#
sorry if any mistake in code-blocks,

but process should like below...,

create a class LookNFeel
create static 'NewFont' variable so, that in your application it can work as global variable... and you can retrieve it in other forms easily.

C#

public class LookNFeel
{
   Public static Font NewFont = New Font("Arial", 12);
   Public static SetFont(string FontName,int as fontsize)
   {
       NewFont = New Font(FontName, fontsize); //Make sure passing correct font name
   }
}

Now, from Form1 when click button call function to set font in global NewFont variable

C#

LookNFeel.SetFont(ComboFontNm.Text, convert.ToInt32(ComboFontsize.Text));

in Form2's Load event set font like this

C#

foreach (Control c in this.Controls)
{
    c.font = LookNFeel.NewFont;
}

Happy Coding!
