Text alignment
Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes. For start, end, and center alignment,
responsive classes are available that use the same viewport width breakpoints as the grid system.
Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.
Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.
End aligned text on all viewport sizes.
End aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.
End aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.
End aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.
End aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra large) or wider.
End aligned text on viewports sized XXL (extra extra large) or wider.
<p class="text-start">Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-end">End aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-sm-end">End aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-md-end">End aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-lg-end">End aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xl-end">End aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xxl-end">End aligned text on viewports sized XXL (extra extra large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-start">Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p> <p
class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p> <p
class="text-end">End aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p> <p
class="text-sm-end">End aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or
wider.</p> <p class="text-md-end">End aligned text on viewports sized MD
(medium) or wider.</p> <p class="text-lg-end">End aligned text on
viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p> <p class="text-xl-end">End
aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra large) or wider.</p> <p
class="text-xxl-end">End aligned text on viewports sized XXL (extra extra large) or
wider.</p>
Note that we don’t provide utility classes for justified text. While, aesthetically, justified text
might look more appealing, it does make word-spacing more random and therefore harder to read.
Text wrapping and overflow
Wrap text with a .text-wrap class.
<div class="badge text-bg-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem;">
This text should wrap.
</div>
<div class="badge text-bg-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem;">
This text should wrap. </div>
Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrap class.
This text should overflow the parent.
<div class="text-nowrap bg-body-secondary border" style="width: 8rem;">
This text should overflow the parent.
</div>
<div class="text-nowrap bg-body-secondary border" style="width:
8rem;"> This text should overflow the parent. </div>
Word break
Prevent long strings of text from breaking your components’ layout by using
.text-break to set word-wrap: break-word and
word-break: break-word. We use word-wrap instead of the more common
overflow-wrap for wider browser support, and add the deprecated
word-break: break-word to avoid issues with flex containers.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
<p class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>
<p
class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>
Text transform
Transform text in components with our text capitalization classes: text-lowercase,
text-uppercase or text-capitalize.
Lowercased text.
Uppercased text.
CapiTaliZed text.
<p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p>
<p class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p>
<p class="text-capitalize">CapiTaliZed text.</p>
<p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p> <p
class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p> <p
class="text-capitalize">CapiTaliZed text.</p>
Note how .text-capitalize only changes the first letter of each word, leaving the case of
any other letters unaffected.
Font size
Quickly change the font-size of text. While our heading classes (e.g.,
.h1–.h6) apply font-size, font-weight, and
line-height, these utilities only apply font-size. Sizing for these
utilities matches HTML’s heading elements, so as the number increases, their size decreases.
.fs-1 text
.fs-2 text
.fs-3 text
.fs-4 text
.fs-5 text
.fs-6 text
<p class="fs-1">.fs-1 text</p>
<p class="fs-2">.fs-2 text</p>
<p class="fs-3">.fs-3 text</p>
<p class="fs-4">.fs-4 text</p>
<p class="fs-5">.fs-5 text</p>
<p class="fs-6">.fs-6 text</p>
<p class="fs-1">.fs-1 text</p> <p class="fs-2">.fs-2
text</p> <p class="fs-3">.fs-3 text</p> <p
class="fs-4">.fs-4 text</p> <p class="fs-5">.fs-5
text</p> <p class="fs-6">.fs-6 text</p>
Customize your available font-sizes by modifying the $font-sizes Sass map.
Font weight and italics
Quickly change the font-weight or font-style of text with these utilities.
font-style utilities are abbreviated as .fst-* and
font-weight utilities are abbreviated as .fw-*.
Bold text.
Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).
Semibold weight text.
Medium weight text.
Normal weight text.
Light weight text.
Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).
Italic text.
Text with normal font style
<p class="fw-bold">Bold text.</p>
<p class="fw-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="fw-semibold">Semibold weight text.</p>
<p class="fw-medium">Medium weight text.</p>
<p class="fw-normal">Normal weight text.</p>
<p class="fw-light">Light weight text.</p>
<p class="fw-lighter">Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="fst-italic">Italic text.</p>
<p class="fst-normal">Text with normal font style</p>
<p class="fw-bold">Bold text.</p> <p
class="fw-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="fw-semibold">Semibold weight text.</p> <p
class="fw-medium">Medium weight text.</p> <p

class="fw-lighter">Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="fst-italic">Italic text.</p> <p
class="fst-normal">Text with normal font style</p>
Line height
Change the line height with .lh-* utilities.
This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our
utilities. Classes are applied to the element itself or sometimes the parent element. These
classes can be customized as needed with our utility API.
