Font Size

Utilities for controlling the font size of an element.

Usage

Control the font size of an element using the fontSize={size} utility.

<x.p fontSize="xs">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="14px">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="sm">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="base">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="lg">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="1.2rem">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="2xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="3xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="4xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="5xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="6xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="7xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="8xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>
<x.p fontSize="9xl">Computers have lots ...</x.p>

Responsive

To control the space between elements at a specific breakpoint, use responsive object notation. For example, adding the property fontSize={{ md: "xl" }} to an element would apply the fontSize="xl" utility at medium screen sizes and above.

<x.p fontSize={{ xs: 'sm', md: 'xl' }}>{/* ... */}</x.p>

Customizing

Font Sizes

If you'd like to customize your values for font sizes, use the theme.fontSizes section of your theme.

  // theme.js
  export const theme = {
    fontSizes: {
-     'xs': '.75rem',
-     'sm': '.875rem',
+     'tiny': '.875rem',
      'base': '1rem',
      'lg': '1.125rem',
      'xl': '1.25rem',
      '2xl': '1.5rem',
-     '3xl': '1.875rem',
-     '4xl': '2.25rem',
      '5xl': '3rem',
      '6xl': '4rem',
+     '7xl': '5rem',
    },
  }

If you don't want to customize it, a set of fontSizes is already defined in default theme:

const defaultTheme = {
  // ...
  fontSizes: {
    xs: '0.75rem',
    sm: '0.875rem',
    base: '1rem',
    lg: '1.125rem',
    xl: '1.25rem',
    '2xl': '1.5rem',
    '3xl': '1.875rem',
    '4xl': '2.25rem',
    '5xl': '3rem',
    '6xl': '3.75rem',
    '7xl': '4.5rem',
    '8xl': '6rem',
    '9xl': '8rem',
  },
}

Styled bindings

Automatic

Using xstyled's styled, all font sizes defined are automatically bound to font-size attribute:

import styled from '@xstyled/...'

const Title = styled.h4`
  font-size: 2xl;
`

To learn more about styled syntax, read styled syntax documentation.

Manual

It is possible to manually bind a font size using th.fontSize utility:

import styled from '...'
import { th } from '@xstyled/...'

const Title = styled.h4`
  font: ${th.fontSize('xl')};
`

Hooks

Get a font size in any component using useFontSize hook:

import { useFontSize } from '@xstyled/...'

function Title() {
  const fontSize = useFontSize('xl')
}
