Learn how to use text styles to define typography related properties.
---
## Overview
Text styles allows you to define textual css properties. The common properties
are:
- **Font**: font family, weight, size
- **Line height**
- **Letter spacing**
- **Text decoration**
- **Text transform**
## Defining text styles
Text styles are defined using the `defineTextStyles` function.
```js filename="text-styles.ts"
import { defineTextStyles } from "@chakra-ui/react"
export const textStyles = defineTextStyles({
body: {
description: "The body text style - used in paragraphs",
value: {
fontFamily: "Inter",
fontWeight: "500",
fontSize: "16px",
lineHeight: "24",
letterSpacing: "0",
textDecoration: "None",
textTransform: "None",
},
},
})
```
## Built-in text styles
Chakra UI provides a set of built-in text styles.
<ExamplePreview name="tokens/text-styles" />
## Update the theme
To use the text styles, update the `theme` object with the `textStyles`
property.
```js filename="theme.ts"
import { createSystem, defineConfig } from "@chakra-ui/react"
import { textStyles } from "./text-styles"
const config = defineConfig({
theme: {
textStyles,
},
})
export default createSystem(defaultConfig, config)
```
After updating the theme, run this command to generate the typings.
```bash
npx @chakra-ui/cli typegen
```
## Using text styles
Now you can use `textStyle` property in your components.
```jsx
<Box textStyle="body">This is the body text style</Box>
```
