Responsive

To control the font weight of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing font weight utility. For example, use md:font-bold to apply the font-bold utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

For more information about Tailwind's responsive design features, check out the Responsive Design documentation.

@component('_partials.responsive-code-sample', ['class' => 'font-sans']) @slot('none')

@endslot @slot('sm')

@endslot @slot('md')

@endslot @slot('lg')

@endslot @slot('xl')

@endslot @slot('code')

@endslot @endcomponent

Hover

To control the font weight of an element on hover, add the hover: prefix to any existing style and decoration utility. For example, use hover:font-bold to apply the font-bold utility on hover.

@component('_partials.code-sample')

@endcomponent

Hover utilities can also be combined with responsive utilities by adding the responsive {screen}: prefix before the hover: prefix.

<a href="#" className="... md:font-normal md:hover:font-bold ...">Link</a>

Focus

To control the font weight of an element on focus, add the focus: prefix to any existing style and decoration utility. For example, use focus:font-bold to apply the font-bold utility on focus.

@component('_partials.code-sample', ['lang' => 'html'])

@slot('code')

@endslot @endcomponent

Focus utilities can also be combined with responsive utilities by adding the responsive {screen}: prefix before the focus: prefix.

<input className="... md:font-normal md:focus:font-bold ..." value="Focus me"/>

Customizing

Font Weights

By default Tailwind provides 10 font-weight utilities. You change, add, or remove these by editing the theme.fontWeight section of your Tailwind config.

@component('_partials.customized-config', ['key' => 'theme.fontWeight'])

• hairline: 100,

• 'extra-light': 100,

• thin: 200, light: 300, normal: 400, medium: 500,
• semibold: 600, bold: 700,
• extrabold: 800,

• 'extra-bold': 800, black: 900, @endcomponent
