Documentation and examples for Bootstrap typography, including global settings, headings, body text, lists, and more.
Bootstrap sets basic global display, typography, and link styles. When more control is needed, check out the textual utility classes.

$font-family-base
$font-size-base
$line-height-base
<body>
$link-color
$body-bg

These styles can be found within _reboot.scss, and the global variables are defined in _variables.scss. Make sure to set $font-size-base in rem.

All HTML headings, <h1> through <h6>, are available.
<h1>
<h6>
<h1></h1>
<h2></h2>
<h3></h3>
<h4></h4>
<h5></h5>
<h6></h6>
<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>
.h1 through .h6 classes are also available, for when you want to match the font styling of a heading but cannot use the associated HTML element.
.h1
.h6
h1. Bootstrap heading
h2. Bootstrap heading
h3. Bootstrap heading
h4. Bootstrap heading
h5. Bootstrap heading
h6. Bootstrap heading
html
<p class="h1">h1. Bootstrap heading</p> <p class="h2">h2. Bootstrap heading</p> <p class="h3">h3. Bootstrap heading</p> <p class="h4">h4. Bootstrap heading</p> <p class="h5">h5. Bootstrap heading</p> <p class="h6">h6. Bootstrap heading</p>
Use the included utility classes to recreate the small secondary heading text from Bootstrap 3.
<h3> Fancy display heading <small class="text-muted">With faded secondary text</small> </h3>
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.
<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>
Display headings are configured via the $display-font-sizes Sass map and two variables, $display-font-weight and $display-line-height.
$display-font-sizes
$display-font-weight
$display-line-height
Display headings are customizable via two variables, $display-font-family and $display-font-style.
$display-font-family
$display-font-style
$display-font-sizes: ( 1: 5rem, 2: 4.5rem, 3: 4rem, 4: 3.5rem, 5: 3rem, 6: 2.5rem ); $display-font-family: null; $display-font-style: null; $display-font-weight: 300; $display-line-height: $headings-line-height;
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.
.lead
This is a lead paragraph. It stands out from regular paragraphs.
<p class="lead"> This is a lead paragraph. It stands out from regular paragraphs. </p>
Styling for common inline HTML5 elements.
You can use the mark tag to highlight text.
This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.
This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer accurate.
This line of text is meant to be treated as an addition to the document.
This line of text will render as underlined.
This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.
This line rendered as bold text.
This line rendered as italicized 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>
Beware that those tags should be used for semantic purpose:
<mark>
<small>
<s>
<u>
If you want to style your text, you should use the following classes instead:
.mark
.small
.text-decoration-underline
.text-decoration-line-through
While not shown above, feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5. <b> is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance, while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.
<b>
<i>
Change text alignment, transform, style, weight, line-height, decoration and color with our text utilities and color utilities.
Stylized implementation of HTML’s <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations have a default underline and gain a help cursor to provide additional context on hover and to users of assistive technologies.
<abbr>
Add .initialism to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.
.initialism
attr
HTML
<p><abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr></p> <p><abbr title="HyperText Markup Language" class="initialism">HTML</abbr></p>
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document. Wrap <blockquote class="blockquote"> around any HTML as the quote.
<blockquote class="blockquote">
A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.
<blockquote class="blockquote"> <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p> </blockquote>
The HTML spec requires that blockquote attribution be placed outside the <blockquote>. When providing attribution, wrap your <blockquote> in a <figure> and use a <figcaption> or a block level element (e.g., <p>) with the .blockquote-footer class. Be sure to wrap the name of the source work in <cite> as well.
<blockquote>
<figure>
<figcaption>
<p>
.blockquote-footer
<cite>
<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>
Use text utilities as needed to change the alignment of your blockquote.
<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>
<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>
Remove the default list-style and left margin on list items (immediate children only). This only applies to immediate children list items, meaning you will need to add the class for any nested lists as well.
list-style
<ul class="list-unstyled"> <li>This is a list.</li> <li>It appears completely unstyled.</li> <li>Structurally, it's still a list.</li> <li>However, this style only applies to immediate child elements.</li> <li>Nested lists: <ul> <li>are unaffected by this style</li> <li>will still show a bullet</li> <li>and have appropriate left margin</li> </ul> </li> <li>This may still come in handy in some situations.</li> </ul>
Remove a list’s bullets and apply some light margin with a combination of two classes, .list-inline and .list-inline-item.
margin
.list-inline
.list-inline-item
<ul class="list-inline"> <li class="list-inline-item">This is a list item.</li> <li class="list-inline-item">And another one.</li> <li class="list-inline-item">But they're displayed inline.</li> </ul>
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.
.text-truncate
Description lists
A description list is perfect for defining terms.
Term
Definition for the term.
And some more placeholder definition text.
Another term
This definition is short, so no extra paragraphs or anything.
Truncated term is truncated
This can be useful when space is tight. Adds an ellipsis at the end.
Nesting
Nested definition list
I heard you like definition lists. Let me put a definition list inside your definition list.
<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">Term</dt> <dd class="col-sm-9"> <p>Definition for the term.</p> <p>And some more placeholder definition text.</p> </dd> <dt class="col-sm-3">Another term</dt> <dd class="col-sm-9">This definition is short, so no extra paragraphs or anything.</dd> <dt class="col-sm-3 text-truncate">Truncated term is truncated</dt> <dd class="col-sm-9">This can be useful when space is tight. Adds an ellipsis at the end.</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">I heard you like definition lists. Let me put a definition list inside your definition list.</dd> </dl> </dd> </dl>
In Bootstrap 5, we’ve enabled responsive font sizes by default, allowing text to scale more naturally across device and viewport sizes. Have a look at the RFS page to find out how this works.
