Get StartedCSS Font Size Generator
In CSS, you can control the font size of text elements using the font-size property. The font-size property specifies the size of the font used for text content within an HTML element. You can set it to various units, such as pixels (px), ems (em), or percentages (%), among others.
Here's how you can use the font-size property in CSS:
.text-element {
font-size: 16px;
}
.em-element {
font-size: 1.2em;
}
.percent-element {
font-size: 120%;
}
in this example:
- The .text-element class sets the font size to 16 pixels.
- The .em-element class sets the font size to 1.2 times the parent element's font size using em units.
- The .percent-element class sets the font size to 120% of the parent element's font size using percentage units.
You can choose the unit that best suits your design requirements and layout. Using relative units like ems or percentages is often recommended for creating responsive designs because they scale with the user's preferred font size settings or the parent element's font size.
Remember that the actual appearance of text can also depend on the font family and other CSS properties like font-family, font-weight, and line-height. Adjusting the font-size property allows you to control the text's size while maintaining the overall design consistency.
