Documentation and examples for common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.
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.
Start aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.
Start aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.
Start aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.
Start aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.
<!-- text alignment -->
<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-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-md-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-lg-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xl-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.</p>Wrap text with a .text-wrapclass.
<!-- text wrapping and overflow -->
<div class="badge bg-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem;">
This text should wrap.
</div>Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrapclass.
<!-- text no wrapping -->
<div class="text-nowrap" style="width: 8rem;">
This text should overflow the parent.
</div>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.

Lowercased text.
Uppercased text.
CapiTaliZed text.
<!-- text transform -->
<p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p>
<p class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p>
<p class="text-capitalize">CapiTaliZed text.</p>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
<!-- font size -->
<p class="fs-1">.fs-1 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>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).
Normal weight text.
Light weight text.
Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).
Italic text.
Text with normal font style
<!-- font weight and italics -->
<p class="fw-bold">Bold text.</p>
<p class="fw-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="fw-normal">Normal 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>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.
