CSS: Font size

Another way to separate sections of text is to use different font sizes. We've already seen that browsers style headings differently. It's the size of the text that separates the <h1> header from the <h2> header and so on.

You can control the size of the text in CSS by using the font-size property, which takes a numeric value and a unit of measure. For now, we'll use pixels as the unit of measurement, although there are a few other important units you'll have learned by the end of this course.

<p>Warning, this paragraph has the standard font size</p>
<p class="warning">This paragraph has a font size of 24 pixels</p>
.warning {
  font-size: 24px;
}
