font-variant

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-variant attribute indicates whether the text is to be rendered using variations of the font's glyphs.

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

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 250 30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <text y="20" font-variant="normal">Normal text</text>
  <text x="100" y="20" font-variant="small-caps">Small-caps text</text>
</svg>
