Typography

Documentation and examples for common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.

Spacing on Bootstrap

Text alignment

Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes. For start, end, and center alignment, responsive classes are available that use the same viewport width breakpoints as the grid system.

<p class="text-start">Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-end">End aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-sm-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-md-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-lg-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xl-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.</p>

Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.

Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.

End aligned text on all viewport sizes.

Start aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.

Start aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.

Start aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.

Start aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.

Text wrapping and overflow

Wrap text with a .text-wrap class. Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrap class.

<div class="badge bg-primary text-wrap mb-3" style="width: 6rem;">This text should wrap.</div>
<div class="text-nowrap bg-300" style="width: 8rem;">This text should overflow the parent.</div>
This text should wrap.
This text should overflow the parent.

Word break

Prevent long strings of text from breaking your component's layout by using .text-break to set word-wrap: break-word and word-break: break-word. We use word-wrap instead of the more common overflow-wrap for wider browser support, and add the deprecated word-break: break-word to avoid issues with flex containers.

<p class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Text transform

Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.

<p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p>
<p class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p>
<p class="text-capitalize">CapiTaliZed text.</p>

Lowercased text.

Uppercased text.

CapiTaliZed text.

Font size

Quickly change the font-size of text. While our heading classes (e.g., .h1–.h6) apply font-size, font-weight, and line-height, these utilities only apply font-size. Sizing for these utilities matches HTML’s heading elements, so as the number increases, their size decreases.

<h6 class="fs--2">.fs--2</h6>
<h6 class="fs--1">.fs--1</h6>
<h6 class="fs-0">.fs-0</h6>
<h6 class="fs-1">.fs-1</h6>
<h6 class="fs-2">.fs-2</h6>
<h6 class="fs-3">.fs-3</h6>
<h6 class="fs-4">.fs-4</h6>
<h6 class="fs-5">.fs-5</h6>
<h6 class="fs-6">.fs-6</h6>
<h6 class="fs-7">.fs-7</h6>
<h6 class="fs-8">.fs-8</h6>
<div class="mt-3">
  <h6 class="fs-sm-0">.fs-sm-0</h6>
  <h6 class="fs-md-1">.fs-md-1</h6>
  <h6 class="fs-lg-2">.fs-lg-2</h6>
  <h6 class="fs-xl-3">.fs-xl-3</h6>
</div>

Font weight

Quickly change the font-weight or font-style of text with these utilities. font-style utilities are abbreviated as .fst-* and font-weight utilities are abbreviated as .fw-*.

<div class="fw-light">Font weight 300</div>
<div class="fw-normal">Font weight 400</div>
<div class="fw-medium">Font weight 500</div>
<div class="fw-semi-bold">Font weight 600</div>
<div class="fw-bold">Font weight 700</div>
<div class="fw-bolder">Font weight 800</div>
<div class="fw-black">Font weight 900</div>
Font weight 300
Font weight 400
Font weight 500
Font weight 600
Font weight 700
Font weight 800
Font weight 900

Line height

Change the line height with .lh-* utilities.

<p class="lh-1"></p>This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our utilities. Classes are applied to the element itself or sometimes the parent element. These classes can be customized as needed with our utility API.<p class="lh-sm">This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our utilities.

<p class="lh-base">This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our utilities. Classes are applied to the element itself or sometimes the parent element. These classes can be customized as needed with our utility API.</p>
