font-smoothing

Utilities for controlling the font smoothing of an element.

| Class | Styles | | --- | --- | | antialiased | -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale; | | subpixel-antialiased | -webkit-font-smoothing: auto; -moz-osx-font-smoothing: auto; |

Examples


Grayscale antialiasing

Use the antialiased utility to render text using grayscale antialiasing:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

<p class="antialiased ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>

Subpixel antialiasing

Use the subpixel-antialiased utility to render text using subpixel antialiasing:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

<p class="subpixel-antialiased ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>

Responsive design

Prefix -webkit-font-smoothing and -moz-osx-font-smoothing utilities with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<p class="antialiased md:subpixel-antialiased ...">  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation .
