Often times when making an app, you’ll want to style some text. A bold font here. An italic font there. Text styling is incredibly important.

class ScoreNumberTextStyle {

}

static TextStyle? headline4(BuildContext context) {

}

return Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4.copyWith();

return Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4?.copyWith(
  fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
  fontSize: 20.0,
  color: Colors.black,
);

class TargetTextStyle {
  static TextStyle? bodyText1(BuildContext context) {
    return Theme.of(context).textTheme.bodyText1?.copyWith(
          fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
          fontSize: 32.0,
          color: Colors.black,
        );
  }
}
