Typography
Utilities for controlling the transformation of text.
The uppercase
and lowercase
will uppercase and lowercase text respectively, whereas capitalize
utility will convert text to title-case. The normal-case
utility can be used to preserve the original casing — typically to reset capitalization at different breakpoints.

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:uppercase
to only apply the uppercase
utility on hover.
<p class="capitalize hover:uppercase">
<!-- ... -->
</p>
For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.
You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:uppercase
to apply the uppercase
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
<p class="capitalize md:uppercase">
<!-- ... -->
</p>
