Use typography to present your design and content as clearly and efficiently as possible.
MaterialĀ UI uses the Roboto font by default. Add it to your project via Fontsource, or with the Google Fonts CDN.
npm install @fontsource/roboto
pnpm add @fontsource/roboto
yarn add @fontsource/roboto
Then you can import it in your entry point like this:
import '@fontsource/roboto/300.css';
import '@fontsource/roboto/400.css';
import '@fontsource/roboto/500.css';
import '@fontsource/roboto/700.css';
Fontsource can be configured to load specific subsets, weights, and styles. MaterialĀ UIās default typography configuration relies only on the 300, 400, 500, and 700 font weights.
To install Roboto through the Google Web Fonts CDN, add the following code inside your projectās
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin />
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@300;400;500;700&display=swap"
/>
The Typography component follows the Material Design typographic scale that provides a limited set of type sizes that work well together for a consistent layout.

In some situations you might not be able to use the Typography component.
Hopefully, you might be able to take advantage of the typography
keys of the theme.
{{ādemoā: āTypographyTheme.jsā}}
In addition to using the default typography variants, you can add custom ones, or disable any you donāt need. See the Adding & disabling variants page for more info.
The Typography component uses the variantMapping
prop to associate a UI variant with a semantic element.
Itās important to realize that the style of a typography component is independent from the semantic underlying element.
To change the underlying element for a one-off situation, like avoiding two h1
elements in your page, use the component
prop:
<Typography variant="h1" component="h2">
h1. Heading
</Typography>
To change the typography element mapping globally, use the theme:
const theme = createTheme({
components: {
MuiTypography: {
defaultProps: {
variantMapping: {
h1: 'h2',
h2: 'h2',
h3: 'h2',
h4: 'h2',
h5: 'h2',
h6: 'h2',
subtitle1: 'h2',
subtitle2: 'h2',
body1: 'span',
body2: 'span',
},
},
},
},
});
System props are deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. Please use the
sx
prop instead.
- <Typography mt={2} /> + <Typography sx={{ mt: 2 }} />
