FontData: style property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The style read-only property of the FontData interface returns the style of the font face.

This is the value used to select the style of the font you want to use, for example inside the font-style property.

Examples include:

  • UltraLight
  • Regular
  • Heavy
  • Medium Italic
  • Extrabold

Value

A string.

Examples

The following snippet will query for all available fonts, and log metadata. This could be used, for example, to populate a font-picker control.

js
async function logFontData() {
  try {
    const availableFonts = await window.queryLocalFonts();
    for (const fontData of availableFonts) {
      console.log(fontData.postscriptName);
      console.log(fontData.fullName);
      console.log(fontData.family);
      console.log(fontData.style);
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err.name, err.message);
  }
}
