Bootstrap typography

The standard font for MD Bootstrap is beautiful "Roboto" from Google.

Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesques distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types.

Font size differs depending on screen size. You can change it by editing the code below in your project.

html {
    @media only screen and (min-width: 0) {
        font-size: 15px;
    }
    @media only screen and (min-width: 992px) {
        font-size: 15.5px;
    }
    @media only screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
        font-size: 16px; 
    }
}

Headings

All HTML headings, <h1> through <h6>, are available. .h1 through .h6 classes are also available, for when you want to match the font styling of a heading but still want your text to be displayed inline.

<h1>h1. heading</h1>
                                             
<h2>h2. heading</h2>
                                               
<h3>h3. heading</h3>
                                               
<h4>h4. heading</h4>
                                                
<h5>h5. heading</h5>
                                                
<h6>h6. heading</h6>

Responsive headings

By adding an appropriate class, you can make your heading responsive. Thanks to that it will look good on all screen sizes.

Resize your browser windows to see the effect

<h1 class="h1-responsive">h1. heading</h1>
                                             
<h2 class="h2-responsive">h2. heading</h2>
                                               
<h3 class="h3-responsive">h3. heading</h3>
                                               
<h4 class="h4-responsive">h4. heading</h4>
                                                
<h5 class="h5-responsive">h5. heading</h5>

Responsive text

Similar to responsive headings, you can make your paragraph responsive, by adding a class .text-fluid.

Resize your browser windows to see the effect

<p class="text-fluid">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit dolor!</p>

Faded secondary text

<h3>

<small class="text-muted">With faded secondary text</small>

Display headings

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.

Display 1

Display 2

Display 3

Display 4

<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>

Lead

Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead

Lead

Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.

Regular paragraph

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Facilis tenetur sit voluptatem molestias ad neque veritatis! Alias natus, nobis laudantium, veritatis, atque illum ipsam nisi voluptas nesciunt harum laborum perspiciatis!

<p class="lead">
  Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
</p>

Inline text elements

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>

Abbreviations

Stylized implementation of HTML’s <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations with a title attribute have a light dotted bottom border and a help cursor on hover, providing additional context on hover and to users of assistive technologies.

Add .initialism to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.

attr

HTML

<p><abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr></p>
<p><abbr title="HyperText Markup Language" class="initialism">HTML</abbr></p>

Blockquotes

For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document. Wrap <blockquote class="blockquote"> around any HTML as the quote.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

<blockquote class="blockquote">
  <p class="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
</blockquote>

Naming a source

Add a <footer class="blockquote-footer"> for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite>.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

<blockquote class="blockquote">
  <p class="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
  <footer class="blockquote-footer">Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
</blockquote>

Reverse layout

Add .blockquote-reverse for a blockquote with right-aligned content.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

<blockquote class="blockquote blockquote-reverse">
  <p class="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
  <footer class="blockquote-footer">Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
</blockquote>

Notifications

If you want to interject into the middle of the article important information for the user, use notifications.

Info notification

Inline

Place all list items on a single line with display: inline-block; and some basic margin between.

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

<ul class="list-inline">
  <li class="list-inline-item">Item 1</li>
  <li class="list-inline-item">Item 2</li>
  <li class="list-inline-item">Item 3</li>
</ul>

Horizontal description

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.

<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">Euismod</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.</dd>
  <dd class="col-sm-9 offset-sm-3">Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.</dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-3">Malesuada porta</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.</dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-3 text-truncate">Truncated term is truncated</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.</dd>
</dl>

Text color

MDBootstrap allows you to simply set the text color. All you have to to is add one of our classes:

<p class="red-text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p>
<p class="pink-text">Impedit architecto, totam hic sunt eum odio, deleniti.</p>
<p class="purple-text">Similique ex, expedita minus assumenda a magni beatae dolorum itaque.</p>
<p class="deep-purple-text">Veritatis eum libero nam, adipisci, necessitatibus eos.</p>
<p class="indigo-text">Sapiente, ea. Molestias sunt nihil saepe numquam quas perferendis.</p>
<p class="blue-text">Sapiente sit, possimus maiores, quo alias corporis cum eum nesciunt.</p>
<p class="light-blue-text">Corrupti adipisci, praesentium iusto eos, iure debitis modi.</p>
<p class="cyan-text">Odio autem veritatis aliquam consequuntur ea voluptatibus.</p>
<p class="teal-text">Similique, adipisci ea, sequi magnam sit inventore.</p>
<p class="green-text">Eos et vitae, odit deserunt dignissimos voluptas.</p>
<p class="light-green-text">Fugit nihil numquam inventore accusantium tenetur ex est.</p>
<p class="lime-text">Sed odit inventore illum excepturi officia, reiciendis numquam modi.</p>
<p class="yellow-text">At odio animi distinctio, aut enim tempora nobis error odit mollitia.</p>
<p class="amber-text">Quo at accusamus vel earum hic, inventore non, minima sint.</p>
<p class="orange-text">Iusto odit eos distinctio temporibus voluptates ad, illo repellat.</p>
<p class="deep-orange-text">Quas fugit fuga assumenda nihil esse et culpa reiciendis voluptatum.</p>
<p class="brown-text">Excepturi iusto amet sunt illo ad debitis quibusdam eius, consequatur.</p>
<p class="grey-text">Non sint nulla incidunt, odit repellat tempore, veniam ratione fugit.</p>
<p class="blue-grey-text">Eius, provident. Quo similique, repellat atque voluptas explicabo odio.</p>
<p class="mdb-color white-text">In consequuntur error, non consequatur expedita maxime dolorum.</p>

Note that the .white-text class has no background color.
