Typography

This font guide was written to ensure a standardized set of styles, or classes, for Magento typography. Each class represents a unique format. The browser applies HTML formatting to text according to the CSS rules for the assigned class.

Headings

All HTML headings are available <h1> through <h3>. Use .h1 through .h3 classes to apply heading font styling to inline text.

EXAMPLE

h1. Magento heading

 Open Sans Regular 28px

h2. Magento heading

 Open Sans Regular 20px

h3. Magento heading

 Open Sans Regular 17px
Body Magento copy Open Sans Regular 14px
Legal Magento copy
 Open Sans Regular 12px

Create lighter, secondary text in any heading with a generic <small> tag or the .small class.

EXAMPLE

h1. Magento heading Secondary text

h2. Magento heading Secondary text

h3. Magento heading Secondary text

Body copy

Magento global default font-size is 14px, with a line-height of 1.428. This style is applied to the <body> and all paragraphs. Paragraphs <p> receive a bottom margin of half their computed line-height (10px by default).

EXAMPLE

Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula.

Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.
