Typography

Foundation includes built-in styles for all the basic typography elements, initially sized based on a modular scale. This includes headers, subheaders, basic text, links and lists.

h1. This is a very large header.

h2. This is a large header.

h3. This is a medium header.

h4. This is a moderate header.

h5. This is a small header.
h6. This is a tiny header.

Subheaders

Lighten up your headers by adding a class of .subheader to any header element.

h2.subheader

h3.subheader

h5.subheader
h6.subheader

Small Header Segments

By inserting a small element into a header Foundation will scale the header font size down for an inline element, allowing you to use this for subtitles or other secondary header text.

      

h1. Small segment header.

h2. Small segment header.

h3. Small segment header.

h4. Small segment header.

h5. Small segment header.
h6. Small segment header.

Paragraphs

This is a paragraph. Paragraphs are preset with a font size, line height and spacing to match the overall vertical rhythm. To show what a paragraph looks like this needs a little more content -- so, did you know that there are storms occurring on Jupiter that are larger than the Earth? Pretty cool. Wrap strong around type to make it bold! You can also use em to italicize your words.

Print Styles

Foundation includes print styles developed by HTML5 Boilerplate to give you some basic print-specific styles. These are activated when you print through a media query. It includes:

On top of that, Foundation includes a couple of simple classes you can use to control elements printing, or not printing. Simply attach .show-for-print to an element to only show when printing, and .hide-for-print to hide something when printing.
