✒️ CSS Typography & Text Styling

CSS enables detailed customization of text appearance, enhancing both readability and visual appeal.

🧰 Common Text Properties

  • font-family: Defines the typeface
  • font-size: Controls the size of text
  • font-weight: Sets the thickness (e.g., normal, bold, 400)
  • line-height: Adjusts vertical spacing between lines
  • letter-spacing: Sets space between characters
  • text-align: Aligns text (left, center, right, justify)

🌍 Web Fonts

Use services like Google Fonts to go beyond system fonts:

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

body {
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}

✅ Web fonts support unique branding and visual consistency.
