TextTheme class
Material design text theme.
Definitions for the various typographical styles found in material design (e.g., button, caption). Rather than creating a TextTheme directly, you can obtain an instance as Typography.black or Typography.white.
To obtain the current text theme, call Theme.of with the current BuildContext and read the ThemeData.textTheme property.
The Material Design typography scheme was significantly changed in the current (2018) version of the specification (https://material.io/design/typography).
The 2018 spec has thirteen text styles:
NAME SIZE WEIGHT SPACING
headline1 96.0 light -1.5
headline2 60.0 light -0.5
headline3 48.0 normal 0.0
headline4 34.0 normal 0.25
headline5 24.0 normal 0.0
headline6 20.0 medium 0.15
subtitle1 16.0 normal 0.15
subtitle2 14.0 medium 0.1
body1 16.0 normal 0.5
body2 14.0 normal 0.25
button 14.0 medium 0.75
caption 12.0 normal 0.4
overline 10.0 normal 1.5
Where "light" is FontWeight.w300, "normal" is FontWeight.w400 and
"medium" is FontWeight.w500.
The TextTheme API is based on the original material (2014) design spec, which used different text style names. For backwards compatibility's sake, this API continues to use the original names. The table below should help with understanding the API in terms of the 2018 material spec.
Each of the TextTheme text styles corresponds to one of the styles from 2018 spec. By default, the font sizes, font weights and letter spacings have not changed from their original, 2014, values.
NAME SIZE WEIGHT SPACING 2018 NAME
display4 112.0 thin 0.0 headline1
display3 56.0 normal 0.0 headline2
display2 45.0 normal 0.0 headline3
display1 34.0 normal 0.0 headline4
headline 24.0 normal 0.0 headline5
title 20.0 medium 0.0 headline6
subhead 16.0 normal 0.0 subtitle1
body2 14.0 medium 0.0 body1
body1 14.0 normal 0.0 body2
caption 12.0 normal 0.0 caption
button 14.0 medium 0.0 button
subtitle 14.0 medium 0.0 subtitle2
overline 10.0 normal 0.0 overline
Where "thin" is FontWeight.w100, "normal" is FontWeight.w400 and
"medium" is FontWeight.w500. Letter spacing for all of the original
text styles was 0.0.
To configure a Theme for the new sizes, weights, and letter spacings, initialize its ThemeData.typography value with a Typography that object that specifies the 2018 versions of the geometry themes: Typography.englishLike2018, Typography.dense2018, and Typography.tall2018.

specification
shows the recommended styles for each of the properties of a TextTheme.
This image uses the Roboto font, which is the font used on Android. On
iOS, the San Francisco
font
is automatically used instead.
