Text Styling

Practical Steps:

  • Choose appropriate fonts: Select fonts that are legible, complement the design, and enhance readability.
  • Set text alignment: Align text to the left, center, right, or justify to improve readability and visual balance.
  • Adjust line height: Increase or decrease the vertical spacing between lines of text to improve legibility.
  • Set letter spacing: Adjust the horizontal spacing between characters to improve legibility or create special effects.
  • Add text decoration: Apply decorations like underlines, overlines, or strikethroughs to emphasize or highlight text.
  • Use text transform: Convert text to uppercase, lowercase, or capitalize specific characters to create emphasis or improve visual appeal.

Example CSS:

body {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.6em;
  text-align: justify;
  text-decoration: underline;
  text-transform: capitalize;
}

Accessibility and Ease of Use:

  • Use high-contrast fonts for improved visibility.
  • Avoid excessive text justification, which can impair readability.
  • Provide clear and descriptive text descriptions for images and other non-text elements.
  • Consider using larger font sizes and line heights for enhanced readability.
  • Ensure text is resizable to accommodate a range of devices and user preferences.
