Tailwind CSS Typography: Typographic defaults plugin
Cascading typographic styles for unstyled HTML containers.
Learn more about tailwindcss-typography
Tailwind CSS Typography is a plugin that provides carefully crafted typographic defaults for rendering unstyled HTML content through composing utility classes. It works by applying a comprehensive set of CSS rules to descendant elements within a container, automatically styling headings, paragraphs, lists, links, code blocks, and other semantic HTML elements without requiring individual class assignments. The plugin includes responsive modifiers and color scheme variants that allow the typography styles to adapt to different viewport sizes and design contexts. Typography rules are implemented as a prose class that cascades styling down through the DOM tree, with additional modifier classes available to adjust font sizes, colors, and spacing proportions. This approach bridges the gap between utility-first styling and content-rich areas where manually styling every element would be impractical.
Multi-scale typography system
Includes five predefined size modifiers (prose-sm through prose-2xl) that adjust font sizes, line heights, spacing, and related properties as a coordinated set. Each size scale is hand-tuned to maintain proper proportions across all typographic elements.
Gray scale variants
Provides modifier classes for five different gray palettes (slate, zinc, neutral, stone, and default gray) allowing typography styling to match project color schemes without additional configuration.
Responsive modifier support
Works with Tailwind's breakpoint system, allowing typography size and styling to change at different viewport widths using standard responsive prefixes like md: and lg:.
