Flexbox is resetting / overriding / changing all my defined CSS Rules for fonts. I don’t know why?

I’ve just started learning CSS flexbox. So I was trying to create a popup modal that requires alignment of three divs side by side and I was able to achieve it using flexbox. But I’m facing a problem:

Flexbox CSS rules are overriding or changing my font-family CSS rules. On removing them I’m able to see all text and paragraphs changing back to defined font family but on including them it’s somehow automatically changing the fonts.

This is how the fonts should look like (without flex). But on running the code given below you’ll notice that it’s ignoring all CSS rules for fonts even after using !important (includes flex).

enter image description here

Please check my comments in CSS to find the part to be removed.

Please run the code below.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#myModal").modal('show');
});
/* CSS For Flex & Structure */


/* PLEASE REMOVE THIS PART to see the real change in fonts. */


/* START REMOVING FROM HERE */

.wrap_modalrow {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.wrap_modalcat {
  flex: 1 1 100px;
  padding: 10px;
}

.wrap_modal {
  height: auto;
}


/* CSS rules for Body Structure */

.tyg-modal {
  text-align: center !important;
}

.modal-dialog {
  border: 6px solid #FFEEF4 !important;
}

.modal-content {
