CSS font-stretch Property
The font-stretch property makes the text wider or narrower.
This property is one of the CSS3 properties.
No browser supports the font-stretch property.
The font-stretch property does not work on any font! It only works if the font-family has width-variant faces. The font-stretch property alone does not stretch a font.

- font-stretch:
- ultra-condensed
- extra-condensed
- condensed
- semi-condensed
- normal
- semi-expanded
- expanded
- extra-expanded
- ultra-expanded
| Initial Value | normal |
| Applies to | All elements. It also applies to ::first-letter and ::first-line. |
| Inherited | Yes. |
| Animatable | Yes. |
| Version | CSS3 |

</html>Selection of the font face¶
The face which is selected for the value of the font-stretch property relies on the faces that the font in question supports. If there is no face provided by the font, that matches the given value, the values that are less than 100% map to a narrower face, and the values that are greater or equal to 100 % map to a wider one.
