Font Family
Usage
Please refer to the
documentation on the Tailwind CSS website
React Native loads fonts differently between iOS and Android. We recommend following https://github.com/jsamr/react-native-font-demo to use fonts that work consistently on all platforms and allow you to use Tailwind CSS as expected.
Differences on Native
React Native does not support fallback fonts. If an array of fonts are provided, NativeWind will only use the first font.
Adding fonts to your theme
info
NativeWind will not load/link fonts into your app. If you have any issues with the font family or weights not rendering, please first verify it works with inline styles.
tailwind.config.js
import { platformSelect } from "nativewind/theme";
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
fontFamily: {
example: ["ExampleFontFamily"],
system: platformSelect({
ios: "Georgia",
android: "sans-serif",
default: "ui-sans-serif",
}),
},
},
},
};
