Structure
The Strong component renders a native HTML <strong> element by default. The element communicates strong importance to assistive technology. While the element can be changed with the inherited as prop, we recommend keeping the default <strong> to preserve its semantic meaning.
Semantic and visual emphasis
The <strong> element carries semantic weight beyond its visual appearance. Screen reader users benefit from the distinction between text that is visually bold for hierarchy and text that is semantically important. Use Strong when the bolded content carries genuine importance, such as names, counts, or key terms that the reader must not miss. For bold text that is purely visual, use the Text component with a heavier weight instead, as it renders a <span> with no semantic meaning.
