There are a number of styling choices for text elements. You can use them to apply font faces, increase or decrease text size, make your text bold, etc.

Font Sizes

You can use these classes to make your font smaller or larger. Absolute sizes may differ depending on the size of the display. (For more information, see Standard Values – Font Sizes.)

<p class="font-xl">

</p>

<p class="font-xxl">

    in your face (h2)
</p>

<p class="font-xxxl">
    Humongous Text that no-one could
    possibly miss
    (h1 headline)
</p>

Humongous Text that no-one could possibly miss (h1)

Since all classes are root-size based, you can nest as many size declarations as you want without causing unwanted multiplications, as would be the case with parent-relative sizes.

Nested font sizes

<h1 class="font-xxl">
    Outer layer
    <span class="font-standard">
        Middle layer
        <span class="font-l">
            Inner layer
        </span>
    </span>
</h1>

Outer layer Middle layer Inner layer

Font Weights

You can change the weight (or thickness) of your text by applying the font-bold, font-semibold, or font-light classes. If you want a previously bolded text to be displayed with normal font weight, use font-normal.

Font Styles

You can use these classes to make your text italic, strike it through, make all letters uppercase, or capitalize each word.

<p class="font-strike">

    with an uppercase letter.
</h4>

Text Colors

There are a number of colors you can give your text, including signal colors for status information and others to make the text either more or less visible.

    Roses are gray, violets are gray…
</p>

<p class="font-white" style="background-color: #000;">

Line Heights

These classes will change the line height of the element. The line height determines how much whitespace there is above and below the text within each line.

Text with different line heights

<p class="font-line-s">
    Text with a small line height.
    It has no additional whitespace
    above or below the text.
</p>

Text with a small line height. It has no additional whitespace above or below the text.

<p class="font-line-standard">
    Text with the standard line height,
    suitable for block texts. Oh, and
    some additional text so we have a
    line break.
</p>

Text with the standard line height, suitable for block texts. Oh, and some additional text so we have a line break.

Cutting Off Text

When you need to make sure that a certain text takes up only one line, regardless of its length, you can use the font-ellipsis class.

The text will be cut off at the end of the first line, and instead show an ellipsis (…) to indicate that more follows.
