Text and typography

Control text size, alignment, wrapping, overflow, transforms and more. By default, Vuetify uses the Material Design 3 specification Roboto Font.

Usage

Control the size and style of text using the Typography helper classes. These values are based upon the Material Design type specification.

Breakpoints

All of the typography classes support the responsive breakpoints seen in other parts of the framework. The base class .text-{variant} corresponds to the xsAndUp breakpoint, while the classes .text-{breakpoint}-{variant} can be used for the rest of the breakpoints (sm, md, lg and xl).

The following example shows a slightly contrived example of how one can use the different classes to effect:

Font emphasis

Material design, by default, supports 100, 300, 400, 500, 700, 900 font weights and italicized text.

Text

Alignment

Alignment helper classes allow you to easily re-align text.

The alignment classes also support responsive breakpoints.

Decoration

Remove text decoration with the .text-decoration-none class or add an overline, underline or line-through by using .text-decoration-overline, .text-decoration-underline, and .text-decoration-line-through.

Opacity

Opacity helper classes allow you to easily adjust the emphasis of text. text-high-emphasis has the same opacity as default text. text-medium-emphasis is used for hints and helper text. De-emphasize text with text-disabled.

Transform

Text can be transformed with text capitalization classes.

Text breaking and the removal of text-transform is also possible. In the first example, the text-transform: uppercase custom class is overwritten and allows the text casing to remain. In the second example, we break up a longer word to fit the available space.

Wrapping and overflow

You can prevent wrapping text with the .text-no-wrap utility class.

Longer content can be truncated with a text ellipsis using the .text-truncate utility class.

Customizing Fonts

By default, Vuetify uses Roboto as font family for regular text and headings. You can customize the font-family by overriding the following SASS variables:

• $body-font-family — Used for body text and most components
• $heading-font-family — Used for headings. (defaults to $body-font-family)

Loading Custom Fonts

Before configuring Vuetify, ensure your chosen font is available in your application. There are several ways to load fonts:

• Fonts from CDN — Add an @import in your CSS or a <link> tag in your HTML
• Local font files — Use @font-face declarations
• NPM packages — Install packages like @fontsource/open-sans

Configuring Vuetify

Ensure you have SASS Variables configured in your project, then set the font-family variables:

@use 'sass:string';
@use 'vuetify/settings' with (
  $body-font-family: string.unquote('"Open Sans", sans-serif'),
  $heading-font-family: string.unquote('"Montserrat", sans-serif')
);

Using CSS Variables

You can use CSS custom properties for font-family values, allowing runtime changes or integration with theming systems:

@use 'vuetify/settings' with (
  $body-font-family: var(--font-sans)
  // $heading-font-family inherits the same font in this example
);

RTL Alignment

When using RTL, you may want to keep the alignment regardless of current text direction. This can be achieved by setting the direction to either left or right.

If instead you want the alignment to respond to the current text direction, use start and end.
