| noWrap | bool | false | If true, the text will not wrap, but instead will truncate with a text overflow ellipsis.Note that text overflow can only happen with block or inline-block level elements (the element needs to have a width in order to overflow). |
| paragraph | bool | false | If true, the element will be a paragraph element. |

For instance, subtitle1 to <h6>. If you wish to change that mapping, you can provide your own. Alternatively, you can use the component prop. |
As a CSS utility, the Typography component also supports all
system properties. You can use them as props directly on the component.The
ref is forwarded to the root element.Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (native element).
