Text and typography
Control text size, alignment, wrapping, overflow, transforms and more.
Typography
Control the size and style of text using the Typography helper classes. These values are based upon the Material Design type specification.
Breakpoints
All of the typography classes support the responsive breakpoints seen in other parts of the framework. The base class .text-{value}
corresponds to the xsAndUp
breakpoint, while the classes .text-{breakpoint}-{value}
can be used for the rest of the breakpoints (sm
, md
, lg
and xl
).
The following example shows a slightly contrived example of how one can use the different classes to effect:
Font emphasis
Material design, by default, supports 100, 300, 400, 500, 700, 900 font weights and italicized text.
Text
Alignment
Alignment helper classes allow you to easily re-align text.
The alignment classes also support responsive breakpoints.
Decoration
Remove text decoration with the .text-decoration-none
class or add an overline, underline or line-through by using .text-decoration-overline
, .text-decoration-underline
, and .text-decoration-line-through
.
Opacity
Opacity helper classes allow you to easily adjust the emphasis of text. text-high-emphasis
has the same opacity as default text. text-medium-emphasis
is used for hints and helper text. De-emphasize text with text-disabled
.
Transform
Text can be transformed with text capitalization classes.
Text breaking and the removal of text-transform
is also possible. In the first example, the text-transform: uppercase
custom class is overwritten and allows the text casing to remain. In the second example, we break up a longer word to fit the available space.
Wrapping and overflow
You can prevent wrapping text with the .text-no-wrap
utility class.
Longer content can be truncated with a text ellipsis using the .text-truncate
utility class.
Requires display: inline-block
or display: block
.
RTL Alignment
When using RTL, you may want to keep the alignment regardless of current text direction. This can be achieved by setting the direction to either left
or right
.
If instead you want the alignment to respond to the current text direction, use start
and end
.
