# vertical

A vertical version of the font.

## Declaration

```swift
@NSCopying var vertical: NSFont { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value in this property is a vertical version of the font, if such a configuration is supported. If a vertical configuration is not supported, the value in the property is self. A vertical font applies appropriate rotation to the text matrix in set(in:), returns vertical metrics, and enables the vertical glyph substitution feature by default.
