CSS typography is essential for creating visually appealing and readable text on your website. It involves various properties that help define how text is displayed, including font-family, font-size, line-height, letter-spacing, and text-align. By using these properties effectively, you can enhance the user experience significantly.

One of the foundational elements of typography is the font-family. This property allows you to specify the typeface of your text. You can choose from web-safe fonts or add custom fonts using @font-face or services like Google Fonts.

body {
  font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
}

Using font-size, you can control the size of the text, ensuring it is proportionate to the overall design of your website. It's recommended to use relative units like em or rem for better scalability.

h1 {
  font-size: 2rem;
}
h2 {
  font-size: 1.5rem;
}

Another important aspect is line-height, which affects the space between lines of text. A well-chosen line height can improve legibility and reading flow. Generally, a line height of 1.5 times the font size works well.

p {
  line-height: 1.5;
}

You can also use letter-spacing to adjust the space between characters. This can help create a more open feel to the text, especially in headings or when using certain typefaces that appear crowded.

h1 {
  letter-spacing: 0.05em;
}

Finally, the text-align property controls the alignment of text within its container. It can take values like left, right, center, and justify to suit the design.

p {
  text-align: justify;
}
