Usage

When to use

When there’s a particularly emblematic quote from a person or from the text on a page, use a pullquote as a representation of the text around it. We typically use a pullquote to quote a person, such as a guest who has left a great review of their stay.

When to consider an alternative

There isn’t a comparable or better component for a given situation, but do be judicious with pullquotes. The quotes used should always be exceptional in some way, whether pulled from a person or text.
