Typography
Render titles and body copy.
Use the <Text>
and <Heading>
components to render titles and body copy.
These components share size
and weight
props and map to the underlying type system to ensure consistent typography throughout your app.
Type scale
The typographic system is based on a 9-step size scale.

Customization
Propel Themes typography can be customized by overriding the corresponding CSS variables of the token system. Refer to the source code for the full list of the typographic tokens.
Make sure that your CSS is applied after the Propel Themes styles so that it takes precedence.
Custom fonts
You can provide your own fonts, however, how you choose to import and serve them is up to you. It is only required that you specify your named fonts using the correct syntax.
To customize the font family used in your theme, remap the corresponding font-family tokens:
With next/font
To load custom fonts via next/font, use the variable
option to define a CSS variable name. Then, add that CSS variable class to your HTML document.
Finally, assign the CSS variable in your custom CSS:
Custom font weights
To customize the exact font weights used in your theme, remap the corresponding font-weight tokens to your own values:

For example, you can customize the headings to render with a relatively larger font size than your default font, different leading trim values, and tighter letter spacing:
