HTML <font> Tag - GeeksforGeeks

17 Mar, 2022
The <font> tag in HTML plays an important role in the web page to create an attractive and readable web page. The font tag is used to change the color, size, and style of a text. The base font tag is used to set all the text to the same size, color and face.
Syntax:
<font attribute = "value"> Content </font>
Example: In this example, we have used the <font> tag with a font size as 5.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <body>    <h2>GeeksforGeeks</h2>         <!--Normal paragraph tag-->     <p>Hello Geeks!.</p>          <!--font tag-->    <font size="5"> Welcome to GeeksforGeeks </font></body> </html>
Output:
HTML <font> tag
The font tag has basically three attributes which are given below: 
Font Size attribute
Face/Type attribute
Color attribute
Note: Font tag is not supported in HTML5. 
We will discuss all these attributes & understand them through the examples.
font Size: This attribute is used to adjust the size of the text in the HTML document using a font tag with the size attribute. The range of size of the font in HTML is from 1 to 7 and the default size is 3.
Syntax:
<font size="number">
Example: This example uses the <font> tag where different font sizes are specified.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <body>    <!--HTML font size tag starts here-->    <font size="1">GeeksforGeeks!</font><br />    <font size="2">GeeksforGeeks!</font><br />    <font size="3">GeeksforGeeks!</font><br />    <font size="4">GeeksforGeeks!</font><br />    <font size="5">GeeksforGeeks!</font><br />    <font size="6">GeeksforGeeks!</font><br />    <font size="7">GeeksforGeeks!</font>    <!--HTML font size tag ends here--></body> </html>
Output:

Font Type: Font type can be set by using face attribute with font tag in HTML document. But the fonts used by the user need to be installed in the system first.
Syntax:
<font face="font_family">
Example: This example describes the <font> tag with different font type & font size.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <body>    <!--HTML font face tag starts here-->    <font face="Times New Roman" size="6">            GeeksforGeeks!!    </font>    <br />    <font face="Verdana" size="6">            GeeksforGeeks!!    </font><br />    <font face="Comic sans MS" size=" 6">            GeeksforGeeks!!    </font><br />    <font face="WildWest" size="6">            GeeksforGeeks!!    </font><br />    <font face="Bedrock" size="6">            GeeksforGeeks!!    </font><br />    <!--HTML font face tag ends here--></body> </html>

Font Color: Font color is used to set the text color using a font tag with the color attribute in an HTML document. Color can be specified either with its name or with its hex code.
Syntax:
<font color="color_name|hex_number|rgb_number">
