# Lumo Typography

Lumo defines a set of style properties for font family, font size, and line height. You can use these CSS custom properties to apply consistent typographic styles across your application.

You can enable the built-in [Lumo compact mode variant](https://vaadin.com/docs/v24/styling/lumo/lumo-variants.md) to reduce the font size and the sizing and spacing of all components, allowing you to place more components on the screen.

The system font stack is used by default:

- Segoe UI on Windows

- Roboto on Android and Chrome OS

- San Francisco on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS

On other systems, Helvetica and Arial are used as fallbacks.
