Examples

As another element

Use the as prop to change the heading level. This prop is purely semantic and does not change the visual appearance.

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

<Heading as="h1">Level 1</Heading>

<Heading as="h2">Level 2</Heading>

<Heading as="h3">Level 3</Heading>

Size

Use the size prop to control the size of the heading. The prop also provides correct line height and corrective letter spacing—as text size increases, the relative line height and letter spacing decrease.

Heading sizes match Text sizes. However, the line heights are set a bit tighter as headings tend to be shorter than running text.

Trim

Use the trim prop to trim the leading space at the start, end, or both sides of the text box.

The prop works similarly to the upcoming half-leading control spec, but uses a common negative margin workaround under the hood for cross-browser support.

Trimming the leading is useful when dialing in vertical spacing in cards or other “boxy” components. Otherwise, padding looks larger on top and bottom than on the sides.

Without trim

The goal of typography is to relate font size, line height, and line width in a proportional way that maximizes beauty and makes reading easier and more pleasant.

The default trim values are configured for the system font stack that’s used by Radix Themes. If you are using custom fonts, you can adjust the trim values using the corresponding CSS variables.

.radix-themes {

  --default-leading-trim-start: 0.42em;

  --default-leading-trim-end: 0.36em;

  --heading-leading-trim-start: 0.42em;

  --heading-leading-trim-end: 0.36em;

}

Truncate

Use the truncate prop to truncate text with an ellipsis when it overflows its container.

Wrap

Use the wrap prop to control text wrapping.

  <Heading wrap="pretty">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</Heading>

</Flex>

text-wrap: pretty is an experimental value that is not yet supported in all browsers. However, it can be treated as a progressive enhancement for browsers that do support it.

Color

Use the color prop to assign a specific color. The text colors are designed to achieve at least Lc 60 APCA contrast over common background colors.
