Typography
Documentation and examples for typography, including global settings, headings, body text, lists, and more.
Bootstrap global settings
- Use a native font stack that selects the best
font-family
for each OS and device. - For a more inclusive and accessible type scale, we use the browser’s default root
font-size
(typically 16px) so visitors can customize their browser defaults as needed. - Use the
$font-family-base
,$font-size-base
, and$line-height-base
attributes as our typographic base applied to the<body>
. - Set the global link color via
$link-color
. - Use
$body-bg
to set abackground-color
on the<body>
(#fff
by default).
Theme global settings
Krait UI Kit use Nunito font instead of
Bootstrap default. Font imported at HTML file within head
tag as below.
// _variables.scss
$font-family-sans-serif: 'Nunito', sans-serif !default;

Display headings
Traditional heading elements are designed to work best in the meat of your page content. When you need a heading to stand out, consider using a display heading—a larger, slightly more opinionated heading style.
Display 1
Display 2
Display 3
Display 4
Display 5
Display 6
Lead
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead
.
This is a lead paragraph. It stands out from regular paragraphs.
Inline text elements
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead
.
You can use the mark tag to highlight text.
This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.
This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer accurate.
This line of text is meant to be treated as an addition to the document.
This line of text will render as underlined.
This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.
This line rendered as bold text.
This line rendered as italicized text.
Beware that those tags should be used for semantic purpose:
<mark>
represents text which is marked or highlighted for reference or notation purposes.<small>
represents side-comments and small print, like copyright and legal text.<s>
represents element that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate.<u>
represents a span of inline text which should be rendered in a way that indicates that it has a non-textual annotation.
If you want to style your text, you should use the following classes instead:
.mark
will apply the same styles as<mark>
..small
will apply the same styles as<small>
..text-decoration-underline
will apply the same styles as<u>
..text-decoration-line-through
will apply the same styles as<s>
.
While not shown above, feel free to use <b>
and <i>
in HTML5. <b>
is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance, while <i>
is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.
Lists
Unstyled
Remove the default list-style
and left margin on list items (immediate children only). This only applies to immediate children list items, meaning you will need to add the class for any nested lists as well.
- This is a list.
- It appears completely unstyled.
- Structurally, it's still a list.
- However, this style only applies to immediate child elements.
- Nested lists:
- are unaffected by this style
- will still show a bullet
- and have appropriate left margin
- This may still come in handy in some situations.
Inline
Remove a list’s bullets and apply some light margin
with a combination of two classes, .list-inline
and .list-inline-item
.
- This is a list item.
- And another one.
- But they're displayed inline.
Description list alignment
Align terms and descriptions horizontally by using our grid system’s predefined classes (or semantic mixins). For longer terms, you can optionally add a .text-truncate
class to truncate the text with an ellipsis.
- Description lists
- A description list is perfect for defining terms.
- Term
-
Definition for the term.
And some more placeholder definition text.
- Another term
- This definition is short, so no extra paragraphs or anything.
- Truncated term is truncated
- This can be useful when space is tight. Adds an ellipsis at the end.
- Nesting
-
- Nested definition list
- I heard you like definition lists. Let me put a definition list inside your definition list.
