Typography

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

Headings

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

• Design
• HTML

<!-- headings -->
<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>

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. Keep in mind these headings are not responsive by default, but it’s possible to enable responsive font sizes .

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- display headings -->
<h1 class="display-1">Display 1</h1>
<h1 class="display-2">Display 2</h1>
<h1 class="display-3">Display 3</h1>
<h1 class="display-4">Display 4</h1>
<h1 class="display-5">Display 5</h1>
<h1 class="display-6">Display 6</h1>

Body text

The body text or body copy is the text forming the main content.

• Design
• HTML

<!-- body text -->
<p>In ultricies fermentum aliquet. Pellentesque dui magna, condimentum non ullamcorper at, cursus in sem. Nunc condimentum, purus ac sagittis ultricies, metus leo pharetra mi, non vehicula felis elit et nisi. Etiam venenatis commodo libero, vel ullamcorper nibh lobortis vel. Aliquam auctor porta tortor, nec consequat nibh finibus a. Sed ultrices risus eget iaculis luctus. Mauris vel gravida magna.</p>

Lead text

Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead .

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- lead text -->
<p class="lead">
  Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
</p>

Inline text elements

Styling for common inline HTML5 elements.

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- inline text -->
<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>

Blockquotes

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

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- blockquote -->
<blockquote class="blockquote">
<p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
</blockquote>

Naming a source

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

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- naming a source -->
<figure>
  <blockquote class="blockquote">
    <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <figcaption class="blockquote-footer">
    Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
  </figcaption>
</figure>

Alignment

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

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- alignment -->
<figure class="text-center">
 <blockquote class="blockquote">
   <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
 </blockquote>
 <figcaption class="blockquote-footer">
   Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
 </figcaption>
</figure>

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- alignment -->
 <figure class="text-end">
 <blockquote class="blockquote">
   <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
 </blockquote>
 <figcaption class="blockquote-footer">
   Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
 </figcaption>
 </figure>

Lists

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- lists -->
<ul class="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>

Inline

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

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- list inline -->
<ul class="list-inline">
  <li class="list-inline-item">Lorem ipsum</li>
  <li class="list-inline-item">Phasellus iaculis</li>
  <li class="list-inline-item">Nulla volutpat</li>
</ul>

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.

• Design
• HTML

 <!-- list alignment -->
 <dl class="row">
  <dt class="col-sm-3">Description lists</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">A description list is perfect for defining terms.</dd>
  <dt class="col-sm-3">Euismod</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">
    <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>
  </dd>
  <dt class="col-sm-3">Malesuada porta</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.</dd>
  <dt class="col-sm-3 text-truncate">Truncated term is truncated</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.</dd>
  <dt class="col-sm-3">Nesting</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">
    <dl class="row">
      <dt class="col-sm-4">Nested definition list</dt>
      <dd class="col-sm-8">Aenean posuere, tortor sed cursus feugiat, nunc augue blandit nunc.</dd>
    </dl>
  </dd>
</dl>

Letter Spacing

Change the letter spacing with .ls-* utilities.
