Why window shows style at design time and not at run time

I created brand new wpf application and on the MainWindow.xaml I have: enter image description here

why is it that when I run that application I don't see the same font? The xaml code I have is:

<Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type Window}" >
        <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Arial Black"/>
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>

<StackPanel>
    <TextBlock>This is a TextBlock</TextBlock>
    <Label>This is a Label</Label>
</StackPanel>

this is a known issue, you may need to set explicit style on window.

define the style in application resources or perhaps merge the same using a resource dictionary

eg

<Style x:Key="myWindowStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Window}" >
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Arial Black"/>
</Style>

use the same as

<Window Style="{StaticResource myWindowStyle}" ... />

if you just want to unify the font in the app then perhaps use TextElement.FontFamily

sample

<Window TextElement.FontFamily="Arial Black" ... />

this will help you apply the same font on all the child elements unless explicitly specified.
