Change typographic style through design tokens
By default, the Typography component applies the body-base
typography token. To override this default style, the token
prop can be used to change the applied typographic style.

import { Typography } from '@highlight-ui/typography';
export default function Example() {
return <Typography token="heading-medium">Text</Typography>;
}
Changing the rendered HTML tag
By default, the Typography component renders a p
element. To change the HTML tag that will be used for rendering, the component
prop can be used to specify any other HTML tag.
Note: the component
prop is of type string
, please use valid HTML tags when using this prop. For example: h1
, h2
, h3
, h4
, h5
, h6
, p
, or span
.
import React from 'react';
import { Typography } from '@highlight-ui/typography';
export default function Example() {
return <Typography component="h1">Text</Typography>;

. Other properties that can be overriden are: fontSize
, fontWeight
