Typographic Snippets (Classes)

It’s helpful to use existing HTML classes to style text, especially when working within a rich text editor. Here are some helpful classes you can use.

  • Fira mono – apply class=”font-mono” to any text element
  • Paragraph Disclaimer – smaller font to be used as a disclaimer
  • Screen Reader Only text – a class that you can place on a body text HTML element to make sure that the text only renders for a screen reader. Useful when there is already a graphic on the page, which sighted users can understand, but for which non-sighted users are missing context.
  • Question & Answer / Q&A formatting – used for articles and intellectual capital, or blogs, where the format is conducted in a question & answer format. Simple typographic solution to format text.
