Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
align	‘center’ | ‘inherit’ | ‘justify’ | ‘left’ | ‘right’	‘inherit’	Set the text-align on the component.
children	node	-	The content of the component.
classes	object	-	Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS classes API below for more details.
color	‘primary’ | ‘secondary’ | ‘success’ | ‘error’ | ‘info’ | ‘warning’ | ‘textPrimary’ | ‘textSecondary’ | ‘textDisabled’ | string	-	The color of the component. It supports both default and custom theme colors, which can be added as shown in the palette customization guide.
component	elementType	-	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
gutterBottom	bool	false	If true, the text will have a bottom margin.
noWrap	bool	false	If true, the text will not wrap, but instead will truncate with a text overflow ellipsis. Note that text overflow can only happen with block or inline-block level elements (the element needs to have a width in order to overflow).
paragraph	bool	false	If true, the element will be a paragraph element.
sx	Array<func | object | bool> | func | object	-	The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the sx page for more details.
variant	‘body1’ | ‘body2’ | ‘button’ | ‘caption’ | ‘h1’ | ‘h2’ | ‘h3’ | ‘h4’ | ‘h5’ | ‘h6’ | ‘inherit’ | ‘overline’ | ‘subtitle1’ | ‘subtitle2’ | string	‘body1’	Applies the theme typography styles.
variantMapping	object	{ h1: ‘h1’, h2: ‘h2’, h3: ‘h3’, h4: ‘h4’, h5: ‘h5’, h6: ‘h6’, subtitle1: ‘h6’, subtitle2: ‘h6’, body1: ‘p’, body2: ‘p’, inherit: ‘p’ }	The component maps the variant prop to a range of different HTML element types. For instance, subtitle1 to <h6>. If you wish to change that mapping, you can provide your own. Alternatively, you can use the component prop.

As a CSS utility, the Typography component also supports all system properties. You can use them as props directly on the component.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
