Nextjs Typography

Documentation and examples for Nextjs typography, including global settings, headings, body text, lists, and more.

Headings

All HTML headings, <h1> through <h6>, are available.

Heading	Example
`<h1></h1>`	h1. Bootstrap heading
`<h2></h2>`	h2. Bootstrap heading
`<h3></h3>`	h3. Bootstrap heading
`<h4></h4>`	h4. Bootstrap heading
`<h5></h5>`	h5. Bootstrap heading
`<h6></h6>`	h6. Bootstrap heading

<h1>h1. Bootstrap heading</h1>
<h2>h2. Bootstrap heading</h2>
<h3>h3. Bootstrap heading</h3>
<h4>h4. Bootstrap heading</h4>
<h5>h5. Bootstrap heading</h5>
<h6>h6. Bootstrap heading</h6>

.h1 through .h6 classes are also available, for when you want to match the font styling of a heading but cannot use the associated HTML element.

h1. Bootstrap heading

h2. Bootstrap heading

h3. Bootstrap heading

h4. Bootstrap heading

h5. Bootstrap heading

h6. Bootstrap heading

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <p className="h1">h1. Bootstrap heading</p>
      <p className="h2">h2. Bootstrap heading</p>
      <p className="h3">h3. Bootstrap heading</p>
      <p className="h4">h4. Bootstrap heading</p>
      <p className="h5">h5. Bootstrap heading</p>
      <p className="h6">h6. Bootstrap heading</p>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Customizing headings

Use the included utility classes to recreate the small secondary heading text from Bootstrap 3.

Fancy display heading With faded secondary text

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <span className="h3">
        Fancy display heading
        <small className="text-muted">With faded secondary text</small>
      </span>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Display Headings

Traditional heading elements are designed to work best in the meat of your page content. When you need a heading to stand out, consider using a display heading—a larger, slightly more opinionated heading style.

Display 1

Display 2

Display 3

Display 4

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1 className="display-1">Display 1</h1>
      <h1 className="display-2">Display 2</h1>
      <h1 className="display-3">Display 3</h1>
      <h1 className="display-4">Display 4</h1>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Lead

Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.

Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <p className="lead">
        Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
      </p>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Inline text elements

Styling for common inline HTML5 elements.

You can use the mark tag to highlight text.

~~This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.~~

~~This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer accurate.~~

This line of text is meant to be treated as an addition to the document.

This line of text will render as underlined

This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.

This line rendered as bold text.

This line rendered as italicized text.

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <p>You can use the mark tag to <mark>highlight</mark> text.</p>
      <p><del>This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.</del></p>
      <p><s>This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer accurate.</s></p>
      <p><ins>This line of text is meant to be treated as an addition to the document.</ins></p>
      <p><u>This line of text will render as underlined</u></p>
      <p><small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small></p>
      <p><strong>This line rendered as bold text.</strong></p>
      <p><em>This line rendered as italicized text.</em></p>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

.mark and .small classes are also available to apply the same styles as <mark> and <small> while avoiding any unwanted semantic implications that the tags would bring.

While not shown above, feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5. <b> is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.

Text utilities

Change text alignment, transform, style, weight, and color with our text utilities and color utilities.

Abbreviations

Stylized implementation of HTML’s <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations have a default underline and gain a help cursor to provide additional context on hover and to users of assistive technologies.

Add .initialism to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.

attr

HTML

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <p><abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr></p>
      <p><abbr title="HyperText Markup Language" className="initialism">HTML</abbr></p>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Blockquotes

For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document. Wrap <blockquote class="blockquote"> around any HTML as the quote.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <blockquote className="blockquote">
        <p className="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
      </blockquote>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Naming a source

Add a <footer class="blockquote-footer"> for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite>.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

Someone famous in Source Title

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <blockquote className="blockquote">
        <p className="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
        <footer className="blockquote-footer">Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
      </blockquote>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Alignment

Use text utilities as needed to change the alignment of your blockquote.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

Someone famous in Source Title

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <blockquote className="blockquote text-center">
        <p className="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
        <footer className="blockquote-footer">Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
      </blockquote>
      <blockquote className="blockquote text-right">
        <p className="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
        <footer className="blockquote-footer">Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
      </blockquote>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Lists

Unstyled

Remove the default list-style and left margin on list items (immediate children only). This only applies to immediate children list items, meaning you will need to add the class for any nested lists as well.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Consectetur adipiscing elit
Integer molestie lorem at massa
Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
- Phasellus iaculis neque
- Purus sodales ultricies
- Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem
- Ac tristique libero volutpat at
Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
Aenean sit amet erat nunc
Eget porttitor lorem

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <ul className="list-unstyled">
        <li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</li>
        <li>Consectetur adipiscing elit</li>
        <li>Integer molestie lorem at massa</li>
        <li>Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet</li>
        <li>Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
          <ul>
            <li>Phasellus iaculis neque</li>
            <li>Purus sodales ultricies</li>
            <li>Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem</li>
            <li>Ac tristique libero volutpat at</li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li>Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel</li>
        <li>Aenean sit amet erat nunc</li>
        <li>Eget porttitor lorem</li>
      </ul>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Inline

Remove a list’s bullets and apply some light margin with a combination of two classes, .list-inline and .list-inline-item.

Lorem ipsum
Phasellus iaculis
Nulla volutpat

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
// import {  } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <ul className="list-inline">
        <li className="list-inline-item">Lorem ipsum</li>
        <li className="list-inline-item">Phasellus iaculis</li>
        <li className="list-inline-item">Nulla volutpat</li>
      </ul>
    </>
  );
}

export default Example;

Description list alignment

Align terms and descriptions horizontally by using our grid system’s predefined classes (or semantic mixins). For longer terms, you can optionally add a .text-truncate class to truncate the text with an ellipsis.

Description lists

A description list is perfect for defining terms.

Euismod

Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.

Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.

Malesuada porta

Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.

Truncated term is truncated

Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.

Nesting

Nested definition list: Aenean posuere, tortor sed cursus feugiat, nunc augue blandit nunc.

import React from "react";

// reactstrap components
import { Row, Col } from "reactstrap";

function Example() {
  return (
    <>
      <Row tag="dl">
        <Col sm="3" tag="dt">
          Description lists
        </Col>
        <Col sm="9" tag="dd">
          A description list is perfect for defining terms.
        </Col>
        <Col sm="3" tag="dt">
          Euismod
        </Col>
        <Col sm="9" tag="dd">
          <p>
            Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio
            sem nec elit.
          </p>
          <p>Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.</p>
        </Col>
        <Col sm="3" tag="dt">
          Malesuada porta
        </Col>
        <Col sm="9" tag="dd">
          Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.
        </Col>
        <Col className="text-truncate" sm="3" tag="dt">
          Truncated term is truncated
        </Col>
        <Col sm="9" tag="dd">
          Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum
          nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.
        </Col>
        <Col sm="3" tag="dt">
          Nesting
        </Col>
        <Col sm="9" tag="dd">
          <Row tag="dl">
            <Col sm="4" tag="dt">
              Nested definition list
            </Col>
            <Col sm="8" tag="dd">
              Aenean posuere, tortor sed cursus feugiat, nunc augue blandit
              nunc.
            </Col>
          </Row>
        </Col>
      </Row>
    </>
  );
}

Responsive Typography

Responsive typography refers to scaling text and components by simply adjusting the root element’s font-size within a series of media queries. Bootstrap doesn’t do this for you, but it’s fairly easy to add if you need it.

Here’s an example of it in practice. Choose whatever font-sizes and media queries you wish.

html {
  font-size: 1rem;
}

@include media-breakpoint-up(sm) {
  html {
    font-size: 1.2rem;
  }
}

@include media-breakpoint-up(md) {
  html {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
}

@include media-breakpoint-up(lg) {
  html {
    font-size: 1.6rem;
  }
}
