Line Height
Use the , leading-tight
, leading-snug
, leading-normal
, leading-relaxed
, and leading-loose
utilities to give an element a relative line-height based on its current font-size.
Use the leading-{size}
utilities to give an element a fixed line-height, irrespective of the current font-size. These are useful when you need very precise control over an element’s final size.
<p class="leading-3 ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>
<p class="leading-4 ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>
<p class="leading-5 ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>
<p class="leading-7 ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>
<p class="leading-8 ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>
<p class="leading-9 ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>
To control the line height of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing line height utility. For example, use md:leading-loose
to apply the leading-loose
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

By default Tailwind provides six relative and eight fixed line-height
utilities. You change, add, or remove these by customizing the lineHeight
section of your Tailwind theme config.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
lineHeight: {
+ 'extra-loose': '2.5',
}
}
}
By default, only responsive variants are generated for line height utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the line height utilities by modifying the lineHeight
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:
Disabling
If you don’t plan to use the line height utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the lineHeight
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
corePlugins: {
// ...
+ lineHeight: false,
