font-weight

Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like font-thin and font-bold to set the font weight of an element:

<!-- [!code classes:font-light,font-normal,font-medium,font-semibold,font-bold] -->
<p class="font-light ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="font-normal ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="font-medium ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="font-semibold ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="font-bold ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>

Using a custom value

Use the font-[<value>] syntax to set the font weight based on a completely custom value:

<!-- [!code classes:font-[1000]] -->
<p class="font-[1000] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

For CSS variables, you can also use the font-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<!-- [!code classes:font-(--my-font-weight)] -->
<p class="font-(--my-font-weight) ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

This is just a shorthand for font-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a font-weight utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<!-- [!code classes:md:font-bold] -->
<p class="font-normal md:font-bold ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.

Customizing your theme

Use the --font-weight-* theme variables to customize the font weight utilities in your project:

@theme {
  --font-weight-extrablack: 1000; 
}

Now the font-extrablack utility can be used in your markup:

<!-- [!code classes:font-extrablack] -->
<div class="font-extrablack">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
