font-size

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The font-size attribute refers to the size of the font from baseline to baseline when multiple lines of text are set solid in a multiline layout environment.

Note: As a presentation attribute, font-size also has a CSS property counterpart: font-size. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <text y="20" font-size="smaller">smaller</text>
  <text x="100" y="20" font-size="2em">2em</text>
</svg>

Usage notes

Value <absolute-size> | <relative-size> | <length-percentage>
Default value medium
Animatable Yes

For a description of the values, please refer to the CSS font-size property.
