Glossary Term

font-stretch

3 tags 1 category

Note: The font-stretch property was renamed to font-width in the CSS Fonts specification. To preserve compatibility, the specification retains font-stretch as a legacy alias for the font-width property.

The font-stretch CSS property selects a normal, condensed, or expanded face from a font.

Some font families offer additional faces in which the characters are narrower than the normal face (condensed faces) or wider than the normal face (expanded faces).

You can use font-stretch to select a condensed or expanded face from such fonts. If the font you are using does not offer condensed or expanded faces, this property has no effect.

Syntax example: font-stretch: normal;
