Examples¶
Basic example¶
Use utilities like font-sans and font-mono to set the font family of an element:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
<!-- [!code classes:font-sans,font-serif,font-mono] -->
<p class="font-sans ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="font-serif ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="font-mono ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
Using a custom value¶
Responsive design¶
Customizing your theme¶
<CustomizingYourTheme utility="font" name="font family" customName="display" customValue='"Oswald", sans-serif'
You can also provide default font-feature-settings and font-variation-settings values for a font family:
@theme {
--font-display: "Oswald", sans-serif;
--font-display--font-feature-settings: "cv02", "cv03", "cv04", "cv11"; /* [!code highlight] */
--font-display--font-variation-settings: "opsz" 32; /* [!code highlight] */
}
If needed, use the @font-face at-rule to load custom fonts:
@font-face {
font-family: Oswald;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 200 700;
font-display: swap;
src: url("/fonts/Oswald.woff2") format("woff2");
}
If you're loading a font from a service like Google Fonts, make sure to put the @import at the very top of your CSS file:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto&display=swap"); /* [!code highlight] */
@import "tailwindcss";
@theme {
--font-roboto: "Roboto", sans-serif; /* [!code highlight] */
}
Browsers require that @import statements come before any other rules, so URL imports need to be above imports like @import "tailwindcss" which are inlined in the compiled CSS.
