Tailwind CSS Font Family

In Tailwind CSS, you can use different pre-defined font family utilities to style your text. These utilities allow you to set the font family of an element to a pre-defined value, or to a custom value that you define.

Syntax

The syntax for using the font family utility in Tailwind CSS is as follows:

<div class="font-{{ property }}-{{ value }}"></div>

• property: This can be one of the pre-defined font family properties in Tailwind CSS, or a custom property that you want to define.
• value: This can be one of the available values for the font family property, or a custom value that you want to define.

Example

Here is an example of how to use the font family utility in Tailwind CSS:

<h1 class="font-sans">This is a heading in the sans-serif font family.</h1>
<p class="font-serif">This is a paragraph in the serif font family.</p>
<p class="font-mono">This is a paragraph in the monospaced font family.</p>

Output

The above example will produce the following output:

This is a heading in the sans-serif font family.

This is a paragraph in the serif font family. This is a paragraph in the monospaced font family.

Explanation

In the example above, we used the font-sans utility to set the font family of the heading to a sans-serif font. We used the font-serif utility to set the font family of the first paragraph to a serif font, and the font-mono utility to set the font family of the second paragraph to a monospaced font.
