Typography
Material Design's text sizes and styles were developed to balance content density and reading comfort under typical usage conditions.
MDC Typography is a foundational module that applies these styles to MDC Web components. The typographic styles in this module are derived from thirteen styles:
- Headline 1
- Headline 2
- Headline 3
- Headline 4
- Headline 5
- Headline 6
- Subtitle 1
- Subtitle 2
- Body 1
- Body 2
- Caption
- Button
- Overline
Design & API Documentation
Installation
npm install @material/typography
Basic Usage
HTML Structure
We recommend using Roboto from Google Fonts:
<head>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body class="mdc-typography">
<h1 class="mdc-typography--headline1">Big header</h1>
</body>
Styles
@import "@material/typography/mdc-typography";

Overriding Styles
All styles can be overridden using Sass global variables before the component is imported by setting a global
variable named $mdc-typography-styles-{style}
. The variable should be assigned a map that contains all the properties
you want to override for a particular style.
Example: Overriding the button font-size
and text-transform
properties.
$mdc-typography-styles-button: (
font-size: 16px,
text-transform: none,
);
@import "@material/button/mdc-button";
Example: Overriding the global font-family
property.
$mdc-typography-font-family: "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif";
...
@import ...
Example: Overriding the font-family
property for headline1
and font-family
and font-size
for headline2
.
$mdc-typography-styles-headline1: (
font-family: unquote("Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif")
);
$mdc-typography-styles-headline2: (
font-family: unquote("Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"),
font-size: 3.25rem
);
...
@import ...
