The **`v-alphabetic`** attribute defines indicates the alignment coordinate for {{Glossary("glyphs")}} to achieve alphabetic baseline alignment. The value is an offset in the font coordinate system relative to the glyph-specific {{SVGAttr("vert-origin-x")}} attribute.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

*   {{SVGElement("font-face")}}
