In this article, we will explore how to set the font size for just the x-axis labels without modifying the global configuration. The font size for the x-axis can be defined inside the options object while initializing the chart.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script>Syntax:
options: {
scales: {
x: {
ticks: {
font: {
size: 14, // set the font size for x-axis labels
}
}
},
}
}
Example: The below example will illustrate the how you can define a particular font size for the x-axis.
