Great job! You learned how to style an important aspect of the user experience—typography.
Let’s review what you’ve learned so far:
- Typography is the art of arranging text on a page.
- Text can appear bold or thin with the
font-weight
property. - Text can appear in italics with the
font-style
property. - The vertical spacing between lines of text can be modified with the
line-height
property. - Serif fonts have extra details on the ends of each letter. Sans-Serif fonts do not.
- Fallback fonts are used when a certain font is not installed on a user’s computer.
- The
word-spacing
property changes how far apart individual words are. - The
letter-spacing
property changes how far apart individual letters are. - The
text-align
property changes the horizontal alignment of text. - Google Fonts provides free fonts that can be used in an HTML file with the
<link>
tag or the@font-face
property. - Local fonts can be added to a document with the
@font-face
property and the path to the font’s source.
