Typography

Typography helps establish hierarchy and communicate text content clearly. Typography components abstracts over semantic and visuals. Some Typography components can have semantics meaning attached to it.

Typography components control the font property, other applicable styles are inherited by the global or user agent styles. In order to have more control apply the styles in parent container. The purpose of the typography components is to enable adding text content that is themeable.

You can use HTML Text content elements and Content sectioning elements to organize blocks or sections of content.

Use HTML Inline text semantics define the meaning, structure, or style of a word, line, or any arbitrary piece of text.
