WordPress offers extensive typography controls in the block editor, starting with font family selection from your theme.json definitions. Users can choose from your custom font palette in a clean dropdown interface.
Font sizes work through predefined palettes or custom values, giving users flexibility while maintaining design consistency. The appearance controls combine font style (italic) and font weight (bold, extra bold) options, though these are hardcoded and may not match your specific font’s capabilities.
Additional controls include line height (adjustable), letter spacing, text decoration (underline, strikethrough), text orientation (horizontal/vertical), text transform (uppercase, lowercase, capitalize), and the drop cap feature for editorial styling.
Understanding these controls helps you plan which typography features to enable or disable in your block theme’s design system.
