What this skill is for. Typography, and only typography, in web and product UI: choosing and pairing typefaces (Plus Jakarta Sans, Inter, SF Pro through the Apple system stack, and comparable families), building a type scale on the golden ratio (φ = 1.618) so every size is derived by multiplying or dividing one base by 1.618, and making every size, weight, line-height, and spacing decision explicit, justified, and comfortable to read.

When to use it. Any time you pick a font for a project, write font-size or line-height anywhere, define text styles or design tokens, set up next/font or @font-face, build a heading hierarchy, style numbers in a table, or are told "the text looks off but I cannot say why".

When NOT to use it. It is not a general UI skill. Layout, grids, spacing between components, color systems, and component design belong to skill-ui.ux, skill-dashboard, and skill-landing.page. This skill only owns the text: which face, which size, which weight, which rhythm, and why. It gives those other skills a type system to plug into.

#0. Where this skill comes from

This guide grew out of a pattern seen in almost every codebase: nobody ever chose the type sizes. They accumulated. Someone wrote font-size: 14px in a card, someone else wrote 15px in a similar card a month later, a designer exported 13.5px from a mockup, and a third person added text-[17px] because 16 "felt small". Two years in, a DevTools sweep finds nineteen distinct font sizes, eleven line-heights, and four different greys for "secondary text". None of them is wrong on its own. Together they make the product look cheap, and nobody can point to the reason.

The second pattern is the font decision made for the wrong reason. A team picks a typeface because it was in the template, or because a screenshot of another product looked good. Nobody checked whether its numerals align in a table, whether it has a 500 weight, whether it covers the accented characters of the target market, or whether the license even allows embedding it on a website. The most common case of the last one: an "Apple-like" product that self-hosts SF Pro. Apple's license does not allow that. The correct move is the system font stack, and this skill explains what that stack really does on each platform.

The third pattern is a scale with no logic. Sizes like 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36 look tidy in a config file, but the ratios between neighbours jump around (1.17, 1.14, 1.13, 1.11, 1.2, 1.25, 1.2). The eye notices that irregularity even when the brain cannot name it. A scale built on a single ratio, in this skill the golden ratio, gives every step the same relationship to its neighbours, so the hierarchy reads as one voice instead of a committee.

Core messages:

• Typography is a system: a face, a base size, a ratio, a weight set, a line-height rule, a spacing rule. Not a font pick.
• Every size is derived from the base. If a size cannot be written as base × φ^n (or a half-step), it does not exist.
• One family is enough for most products. Two is the maximum. A third family is a mistake, not a choice.
• Line-height and spacing come from the same ratio as the sizes. That is what "rhythm" means.
• Numbers in tables use tabular figures. No exceptions, ever.
• rem for font sizes, never px. The user's browser setting wins.
• Load fonts deliberately: WOFF2 only, subsets, metric-matched fallbacks, measured layout shift.
• Respect licensing. SF Pro lives on Apple devices through the system stack. It is not a web font.
• AUDIT WITH DEVTOOLS, NOT WITH YOUR EYES. Inventory every real size before you believe the type system is consistent.

#1. Core principles

#2. When this skill is mandatory

Apply the full skill when:

• A new product, marketing site, or design system is being started and the type has not been chosen.
• You are writing or changing design tokens for text (--text-*, fontSize in Tailwind, text styles in Figma).
• A font is being added, replaced, self-hosted, or moved to next/font.
• A table, report, dashboard, or invoice shows numbers and they do not line up.
• Someone reports "the text looks off", "it feels cheap", "the headings fight each other", or "it is hard to read".
• A redesign is planned. The audit in Section 25 is the first task, before any visual work.
• The product must pass an accessibility review (WCAG 1.4.3, 1.4.4, 1.4.12).

A light version is fine when:

• A single page already uses an existing, documented type scale. Use the scale, do not invent a size.
• A one-off internal tool with no brand where the platform stack (system-ui) is acceptable. Still set the scale.
• A prototype that will be thrown away within days. Still use rem and tabular numerals; those cost nothing.

The light version still forbids two things: a size outside the scale, and a px font size.

#3. Phased workflow (6 phases)

The phases are short. The mistake is skipping Phase 1 and Phase 3: picking a font before knowing what text exists, and assigning sizes before the scale exists. Both produce a system that has to be redone later.

#4. Phase 1 — Read the content and the reader

What to do. Inventory every kind of text the product shows. Not the pages, the text roles: page title, section heading, card title, body paragraph, table cell, table header, KPI number, badge, caption, helper text, error text, button label, code, legal text. Note for each one the typical length (three words or three paragraphs), the density around it, and where it is read (phone in sunlight, 27-inch monitor, print).

Questions that must be answered.

1. Is this mainly a reading product (articles, docs), a scanning product (dashboard, admin), or a persuading product (marketing)? The answer sets the base size and the steepness of the scale.
2. What languages and scripts must the font cover? Latin only, Latin extended (Vietnamese, Polish, Turkish), Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, CJK?
3. Are there numbers in columns? If yes, tabular numerals are mandatory and the family must have them.
4. What is the smallest text that must remain legible, and where does it appear?
5. What existing brand assets are fixed (logo face, a font the brand already licensed)?
6. Which devices dominate? A phone-first product needs a 16px minimum and shallower heading steps.

Phase output. A content inventory table: role, sample text, typical length, context, minimum readable size, numeric or not. Usually 12–20 rows.

Common traps.

• Inventorying pages instead of roles. Pages multiply; roles do not.
• Forgetting the ugly text: legal, error messages, table footers, tooltips. Those are where 11px appears.
• Assuming Latin-only. The first customer name with a diacritic falls back to a different font and looks broken.

#5. Phase 2 — Choose the family (and pairing)

What to do. Using the decision table in Section 11 and the profiles in Section 12, pick one family for the UI. Decide whether a second family has a job (display headings, monospace for code and IDs, serif for editorial). Write the full font stack string. Verify the license and the delivery route (Google Fonts, self-hosted WOFF2, next/font, or the system stack).

Questions that must be answered.

1. Does the family have the weights the roles need (usually 400, 500, 600, sometimes 700)?
2. Does it have tabular numerals (tnum) and a slashed or dotted zero?
3. Is it a variable font? One file for all weights reduces requests and enables smooth weight tokens.
4. Does it cover the required scripts and Latin extended?
5. Is the license compatible with self-hosting on the web? (SF Pro: no. Google Fonts families: yes.)
6. How does it render at 13–14px on a Windows laptop at 100% scaling? Test on a real device, not only a Mac.

Phase output. A family decision block: family, weights used, features used, license, delivery route, stack string, and one sentence on why it beats the runner-up.

Common traps.

• Choosing from a marketing specimen at 96px. UI text lives at 14–16px; judge it there.
• Choosing a display face for body text. Tight apertures and quirky letterforms tire the reader.
• Loading nine weights because the font has them. Load three.

#6. Phase 3 — Build the φ scale

What to do. Choose the base (16px unless the content inventory argues for 15, 17, or 18). Build the pure φ scale up and down. Add √φ half-steps for the sizes between. Add φ^¼ quarter-steps only if the product is a dense UI that needs 12/13/14/16. Round consistently. Write the table with exact px, rounded px, and rem. The full method, with every number computed, is in Section 14.

Questions that must be answered.

1. What is the base, and why? (16 default; 17–18 for reading-heavy; 15 for dense admin, still 16 on phones.)
2. Does the product need half-steps? Almost always yes. Quarter-steps? Only for dense data UI.
3. What is the largest size actually needed? Do not generate a 177px display step for an admin panel.
4. What is the rounding policy? Nearest 0.5px or nearest 1px, applied to every step the same way.

Phase output. The scale table, plus the rhythm unit (base × φ ≈ 25.89px at base 16) and the derived spacing steps.

Common traps.

• Mixing a φ scale with leftover sizes "because the old card uses 15px". The leftover wins and the scale dies.
• Rounding some steps up and others to the nearest half. Pick one rule.
• Building the scale in px tokens. Tokens are rem; the px column is for humans.

#7. Phase 4 — Assign roles and write the spec sheet

What to do. Map every role from the Phase 1 inventory to exactly one step of the scale, one weight, one line-height, one letter-spacing, one max measure, and one color token. Write it as the spec sheet table (template in Section 27). This table is the type system. Everything else is implementation.

Questions that must be answered.

1. Does every role have a step, and does every step have at least one role? Unused steps are deleted.
2. Are two roles identical in every column? Then they are one role with two names. Merge them.
3. Does each heading level differ from the next by size and at least one other property?
4. Is body line-height φ (1.618) or close to it, and are headings tighter (1.1–1.25)?
5. Is there a role for numbers with tabular-nums set?

Phase output. The spec sheet, checked in to the repo next to the tokens.

Common traps.

• Twelve heading roles. Products need h1–h4 plus display at most; h5 and h6 become "label" and "overline".
• Letting the spec live only in a design tool. It must be in the repository where the code is.

#8. Phase 5 — Implement and load

What to do. Translate the spec sheet into tokens: CSS custom properties, a Tailwind @theme block or theme.extend.fontSize, and utility classes or components for each role. Set up font loading (next/font, or self-hosted @font-face with WOFF2 and unicode-range), a metric-matched fallback, font-display, and the OpenType features per role. Remove every hard-coded font-size that is not a token.

Questions that must be answered.

1. Is every font-size in the codebase a token or a role class? grep for font-size: and text-[ to check.
2. Which font files are critical, and are only those preloaded?
3. Does the fallback font have size-adjust and ascent/descent overrides so text does not jump on swap?
4. Are tabular-nums and the chosen stylistic sets applied by role, not globally?

Phase output. Tokens, font loading config, role classes, and a zero-arbitrary-size codebase.

Common traps.

• font-display: swap with no metric-matched fallback. Text reflows on every cold load.
• Preloading every weight. Preload the regular and one bold at most.
• Global font-feature-settings that silently turns off kerning or ligatures for the whole page.

#9. Phase 6 — Audit and hand over

What to do. Run the audit in Section 25 on the built product, not on the design file: inventory real computed sizes, weights, line-heights, and colors; check measure, contrast, font loading, and CLS; zoom to 200%; test on Windows and on a phone. Fix everything outside the spec. Hand over the spec sheet, the token file, and the audit result.

Questions that must be answered.

1. How many distinct computed font-size values exist in the live app? Does each one map to a step?
2. Does any text fail 4.5:1 (or 3:1 for large text)?
3. What is the CLS contribution of fonts on a cold load with throttled network?
4. Does anything break at 200% zoom or at a 20px browser default?
5. Does any table show proportional numerals?

Phase output. A short audit report: counts before and after, the list of fixes, any accepted exceptions with reasons.

Common traps.

• Auditing the Figma file. Figma is not what users see.
• Declaring success at one breakpoint. Type breaks at 360px and at 1920px in different ways.
• Accepting exceptions without writing them down. An unwritten exception becomes the new normal.

#10. Typography is a system, not a font choice

A font choice is one decision. A type system is six decisions that agree with each other: family, base size, ratio, weight set, line-height rule, spacing rule. When one is missing, the others cannot hold the page together.

#10.1 The four properties every system must control

#10.2 What "clear at every size" means

A type system is clear when a reader can, without thinking:

1. Find the title of the screen in under a second.
2. Tell a heading from a paragraph from a caption by shape alone, before reading a word.
3. Read a full paragraph without losing the line on the way back to the left edge.
4. Read the smallest text on the page at arm's length on a phone.
5. Scan a column of numbers and compare magnitudes without reading each digit.

If any of these fails, the fix is in the system (size, weight, line-height, measure), not in the wording.

#10.3 Why irregular scales feel off

The eye is good at ratios and bad at absolute sizes. It does not know that a heading is 24px; it knows that the heading is "about one and a half times" the body. When every step of a scale has the same ratio, each level relates to its neighbours in the same way, and the page reads as one voice. When the ratios vary (1.14 here, 1.25 there, 1.2 next), some levels look too close and others too far, and the reader senses indecision without being able to name it.

A single ratio also makes the system predictable for the team. Anyone can derive the next size without asking. That is why this skill uses the golden ratio and its half-step, and nothing else.

#10.4 The reader's eye

Three facts about reading drive most rules in this skill:

• Readers recognise word shapes, not letters. Mixed-case text with normal tracking reads faster than uppercase or widely spaced text. Uppercase is for short labels only.
• The eye returns to the left edge after every line. Long lines (over 75 characters) and tight line-height make that return jump miss. That is why measure and line-height are linked.
• Peripheral vision sees weight and size before it sees content. That is why hierarchy is size + weight, not one of them.

#10.5 Common traps

• Treating "we use Inter" as a type system. That is one of six decisions.
• Adjusting one screen until it looks good and calling that the system. The system is what makes the next screen look good without adjustment.
• Adding sizes to fix local problems. Every local fix that adds a size makes the global system worse.
• Confusing "lots of contrast" with hierarchy. One strong level and everything else quiet reads better than five strong levels.

#11. Choosing a typeface

#11.1 Decision table by use

#11.2 Characteristics that matter

#11.3 Licensing, honestly

The system stack, stated honestly. font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, system-ui, sans-serif does not "give you SF Pro". It asks each device for its own system font: SF Pro on macOS and iOS, Segoe UI (or Segoe UI Variable) on Windows, Roboto on Android and most Chrome OS, whatever the distribution ships on Linux. You get SF Pro only for users on Apple devices, legally, with zero download. Everyone else sees their platform's font. Design for that variety or do not use the stack.

#11.4 Common traps

• Judging a family from a 120px specimen. Set your real body text in it at 14px and 16px first.
• Ignoring Windows rendering. Half the world reads on Windows; ClearType and thin weights disagree.
• Choosing a font with no 500 weight for a UI that needs "medium" labels; the team fakes it with 600 and everything looks heavy.
• Assuming a family has tabular numerals. Many display faces do not.
• Downloading SF Pro from Apple's developer page and dropping it in /public/fonts. That is a license violation, not a design choice.

#12. Profiles of the recommended families

Facts below are stated as of this skill's date. Weight ranges and feature codes change between releases; when a detail matters for a decision, check the foundry page or the font's own docs.

#12.1 Plus Jakarta Sans

font-family: "Plus Jakarta Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;

#12.2 Inter

font-family: "Inter", "InterVariable", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;
font-optical-sizing: auto; /* Inter 4: lets opsz pick Text vs Display forms */

#12.3 SF Pro through the Apple system stack

/* Native feel: each OS uses its own font. SF Pro appears only on Apple devices. */
font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;

/* Consistent look everywhere, Apple users still get an SF-like feel: */
font-family: "Inter", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, system-ui, sans-serif;

ui-sans-serif is the CSS Fonts Level 4 generic family; system-ui is the widely supported one. Listing -apple-system and BlinkMacSystemFont first still matters for older Safari and Chrome on macOS.

#12.4 Comparable alternatives

Ready stacks:

--font-geist:   "Geist", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;
--font-manrope: "Manrope", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;
--font-dm:      "DM Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;
--font-source:  "Source Sans 3", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;
--font-plex:    "IBM Plex Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;
--font-mono:    ui-monospace, "JetBrains Mono", "Geist Mono", "IBM Plex Mono", "SFMono-Regular", Menlo, Consolas, monospace;

#12.5 Quick chooser

#12.6 Common traps

• Picking Geist or Inter and calling the brand "done". These are neutral; the brand has to come from layout, color, and motion.
• Using Plus Jakarta Sans at 12px in a dense table. Its width and geometry want 15px and room.
• Expecting the system stack to look the same in screenshots from a Mac and a Windows laptop. It will not, by design.
• Loading a family's italic cut when the UI never uses italics. Check with grep -r "italic" before shipping the file.

#13. Pairing

#13.1 One family is usually enough

A single family with three weights and a φ scale produces more hierarchy than most products need. Weight, size, color, and spacing are four independent dials; a second family is a fifth dial that most teams do not know how to turn. Start with one. Add a second only when there is a specific job no weight of the first family can do.

#13.2 When to pair

Maximum: two text families plus one monospace. Never three text families.

#13.3 Pairing rules

1. Contrast in structure, harmony in proportion. Pair a geometric with a humanist, or a sans with a serif; do not pair two neutral grotesques (Inter + Geist looks like a mistake, not a pairing).
2. Match x-height and width. If the two families sit on the same line (a serif word inside a sans sentence), their x-heights must be within about 5% or one looks shrunken. Adjust with font-size per family if needed.
3. Give each family a fixed territory. Family A owns h1–h2 or display only; family B owns everything else. Never let the territory move page to page.
4. Share the scale. Both families use the same φ steps. A pairing is not an excuse for new sizes.
5. Match the weight feel, not the weight number. A serif 500 may look like a sans 400. Compare on screen, then write the numbers down.
6. Superfamilies are the safe choice. Source Sans / Serif / Code, IBM Plex Sans / Serif / Mono, and Geist Sans / Mono were designed together. If in doubt, pair inside one superfamily.

#13.4 Example pairs with reasons

#13.5 Pairing anti-patterns

• Two geometric sans faces (Manrope + DM Sans). Too similar to be a pairing, different enough to look like an accident.
• A display face for body copy because "it is already loaded".
• A serif for h2 and a sans for h3. Hierarchy must move in one direction; a family switch mid-hierarchy breaks it.
• Google Fonts "popular pairings" copied without checking x-height on the same line.
• A decorative script anywhere in product UI.

#13.6 Common traps

• Pairing to fix a weak hierarchy. The fix is usually weight and spacing, not a second family.
• Forgetting the mono. IDs, codes, and amounts in a proportional font is the most common "looks unprofessional" defect in dashboards.
• Letting a marketing pairing leak into the app. The app gets the UI family only.

#14. The golden ratio type scale

This is the heart of the skill. Everything else adjusts details; this section decides the sizes.

#14.1 Definition

φ (phi) = (1 + √5) / 2 = 1.6180339887…, rounded to 1.618 in every table below. It is the ratio where a : b = b : (a + b). In typography it is simply a steep, pleasant, consistent ratio.

The rule: pick a base size. Every step up is base × 1.618. Every step down is base ÷ 1.618. Nothing else is a size. If a value is not base × φ^n for some n (or a half-step, defined in 14.5), it does not exist in the system.

#14.2 The pure φ scale at base 16px

Useful constants: φ² = 2.618, φ³ = 4.236, φ⁴ = 6.854, φ⁵ = 11.090. Note that the rem column is the power of φ when base is 16px, which makes tokens easy to read: 1.618rem is "one step up".

#14.3 Rounding policy

Rounding exists for humans reading the spec and for pixel-snapped rendering of small text. Pick one rule and apply it to every step:

• Nearest 0.5px keeps the ratio most faithful (12.58 → 12.5, 20.35 → 20.5, 53.28 → 53.5). Preferred when tokens are in rem, because 0.786rem renders as 12.58px anyway and the rounded px is only documentation.
• Nearest 1px is friendlier for design tools and hand-written CSS (12.58 → 13, 20.35 → 20). Acceptable; the error is under 3% at every step above 10px.

Never mix the two. A scale with 12.5, 20, 26, 33, 41.5 is a scale nobody can reproduce. The tokens themselves carry the exact rem value (three decimals); rounding is for the px column only.

#14.4 The same scale at other bases

Teams pick a base from the content inventory. 16 is the web default; 15 suits dense admin UI on desktop (keep 16 on phones); 17–18 suit reading products.

Rem values for a non-16 base: divide by 16 (base 18 → φ¹ = 29.12 ÷ 16 = 1.820rem), or set html { font-size: 112.5%; } (18 ÷ 16) and keep the base-16 rem tokens. The second approach keeps the token file identical across products and lets the user's browser setting scale everything.

#14.5 The steepness problem and the half-step

A pure φ scale is honest about one thing: it is steep. Between 16 and 42 there is exactly one size (25.89). Between 9.89 and 16 there is none. A real product needs a caption around 12–13, a lead around 20, and an h3 that is not already 42. Teams that ignore this either abandon the scale or smuggle in arbitrary sizes.

The standard solution keeps the ratio and adds intermediate steps on the same curve:

• Half-steps use √φ = 1.272. Two half-steps equal one φ step exactly (1.272 × 1.272 = 1.618).
• Quarter-steps use φ^¼ = 1.128. Four quarter-steps equal one φ step. Use them only in dense UI that genuinely needs 12 / 13 / 14 / 16.

Every half-step size is still base × φ^(n/2). The scale stays one curve; it just has more points on it.

#14.6 The φ scale with half-steps at base 16, mapped to roles

This mapping is the marketing-steep version (h1 = 67.78). Product UI shifts headings down: an app page title sits at +2 or +3, and nothing above +4 appears except KPI numbers. Section 16 gives three complete hierarchies.

One size is missing from the half-step table and every UI needs it: body-sm at 14px. That is the one quarter-step worth adding: φ^(−¼) × 16 = 14.19px = 0.887rem. Use it for table cells, dense lists, and form labels. Do not add other quarter-steps unless the product is a dense data UI.

#14.7 Quarter-steps for dense UI (base 16)

Rule: a product picks one division. Half-steps for marketing and most apps; quarter-steps only for data-dense products that have proven they need 11 / 13 / 14 / 16 / 18. Mixing "some quarter-steps" into a half-step scale is how arbitrary sizes come back.

#14.8 Line-height tied to φ

Body line-height is φ itself: 1.618. At 16px that is 25.89px per line, which is comfortable for 45–75 character lines and gives the eye a clear path back to the left edge. Use the unitless value so it scales with the size.

Headings get tighter as they grow, because a large face has more internal white space and a loose line-height makes a two-line heading fall apart:

Never set a heading line-height below 1.0 unless descenders have been checked ("g", "y", "p" clip against the next line). Never set body below 1.5; WCAG 1.4.12 assumes users may force 1.5.

#14.9 Vertical rhythm from the same ratio

The rhythm unit is base × φ, the body line: 25.89px = 1.618rem. Every vertical space between text blocks is a multiple or a φ-fraction of that unit:

:root { --rhythm: 1.618rem; }
p + p        { margin-top: var(--rhythm); }
h2           { margin-top: calc(var(--rhythm) * 2); margin-bottom: var(--rhythm); }
h3, h4       { margin-top: calc(var(--rhythm) * 1.5); margin-bottom: calc(var(--rhythm) / 2); }
figcaption   { margin-top: calc(var(--rhythm) / 2); }

Spacing between components (cards, grids) is the layout skill's job and may use a different scale. Spacing between text blocks uses the rhythm unit. Where the two meet, the rhythm wins.

#14.10 Letter-spacing per size

Tracking is a function of size. Large text has too much air between letters; small uppercase has too little. Body has neither problem and gets no tracking.

Fonts with an opsz axis (Inter 4, some DM Sans versions) do part of this automatically when font-optical-sizing: auto is on. Reduce the manual values by about half in that case and judge on screen. Never apply positive tracking to mixed-case body text; word shapes fall apart.

#14.11 Measure (line length)

• 45–75 characters per line, about 66 is the sweet spot for continuous reading.
• Implement with max-width: 65ch on paragraphs and prose containers. ch is the width of "0" in the current font, so the limit follows the font and the size automatically.
• At 16px in a typical sans, 65ch is roughly 520–560px. At 20.35px lead it grows to roughly 660–700px. That is correct: measure is about character count, not pixels.
• Dense UI (tables, cards) does not have a measure problem; short strings do not need a return path. Only paragraphs and lists of sentences do.
• Wider measure needs more line-height; narrower measure tolerates less. 75 characters at 1.4 is hard; 75 at 1.618 is fine.

.prose        { max-width: 65ch; }
.prose .lead  { max-width: 60ch; }   /* larger size, slightly shorter count */
.caption      { max-width: 50ch; }   /* small text wants short lines */

#14.12 Implementation: CSS custom properties

Fixed tokens, three-decimal rem, negative steps named n1, n2 so the names sort cleanly:

:root {
  --fs-n2: 0.618rem;  /*  9.89px  legal / overline   */
  --fs-n1: 0.786rem;  /* 12.58px  caption            */

#14.13 Implementation: derived with calc()

When the team wants to change the base or the ratio in one place:

:root {
  --base: 1rem;
  --ratio: 1.618;               /* φ            */
  --half: 1.272;                /* √φ           */
  --fs-0:  var(--base);
  --fs-1:  calc(var(--fs-0) * var(--half));
  --fs-2:  calc(var(--fs-0) * var(--ratio));
  --fs-3:  calc(var(--fs-2) * var(--half));
  --fs-4:  calc(var(--fs-2) * var(--ratio));
  --fs-5:  calc(var(--fs-4) * var(--half));
  --fs-6:  calc(var(--fs-4) * var(--ratio));
  --fs-n1: calc(var(--fs-0) / var(--half));
  --fs-n2: calc(var(--fs-0) / var(--ratio));
  --rhythm: calc(var(--fs-0) * var(--ratio));
}

Newer browsers support pow() (calc(var(--base) * pow(1.618, 2))), but the chained form above works everywhere and reads as the arithmetic it is.

#14.14 Implementation: Sass

@use "sass:math";
$base: 1rem;
$phi: 1.618033988749895;

// n counts half-steps; negative n goes down the scale
@function phi-step($n) {
  $exact: $base * math.pow($phi, math.div($n, 2));
  @return math.div(math.round($exact * 1000), 1000);
}

:root {
  @for $n from -2 through 7 {
    $name: if($n < 0, "n#{math.abs($n)}", "#{$n}");
    --fs-#{$name}: #{phi-step($n)};
  }
}

#14.15 Implementation: Tailwind v4 (@theme)

In v4 the --text-* namespace generates text-* utilities, and the --text-*--line-height and --text-*--letter-spacing sub-keys attach the matching values to the same utility:

@import "tailwindcss";

@theme {
  --font-sans: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif;

  --text-caption: 0.786rem;  --text-caption--line-height: 1.4;
  --text-body-sm: 0.887rem;  --text-body-sm--line-height: 1.5;
  --text-body:    1rem;      --text-body--line-height: 1.618;
  --text-lead:    1.272rem;  --text-lead--line-height: 1.5;
  --text-h5:      1.618rem;  --text-h5--line-height: 1.25;
  --text-h4:      2.058rem;  --text-h4--line-height: 1.2;   --text-h4--letter-spacing: -0.015em;
  --text-h3:      2.618rem;  --text-h3--line-height: 1.15;  --text-h3--letter-spacing: -0.02em;
  --text-h2:      3.330rem;  --text-h2--line-height: 1.1;   --text-h2--letter-spacing: -0.02em;
  --text-h1:      4.236rem;  --text-h1--line-height: 1.05;  --text-h1--letter-spacing: -0.025em;

  --spacing-rhythm: 1.618rem;   /* enables mt-rhythm, gap-rhythm, py-rhythm */
}

Usage: <h2 class="text-h2 font-semibold">, <p class="text-body max-w-[65ch]">. Delete the default text-sm … text-6xl from use by linting for them; two scales in one codebase is one scale too many.

#14.16 Implementation: Tailwind v3 (theme.extend.fontSize)

// tailwind.config.ts
import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";

export default {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      fontSize: {
        caption:   ["0.786rem", { lineHeight: "1.4" }],
        "body-sm": ["0.887rem", { lineHeight: "1.5" }],
        body:      ["1rem",     { lineHeight: "1.618" }],
        lead:      ["1.272rem", { lineHeight: "1.5" }],
        h5:        ["1.618rem", { lineHeight: "1.25" }],
        h4:        ["2.058rem", { lineHeight: "1.2",  letterSpacing: "-0.015em" }],
        h3:        ["2.618rem", { lineHeight: "1.15", letterSpacing: "-0.02em" }],
        h2:        ["3.330rem", { lineHeight: "1.1",  letterSpacing: "-0.02em" }],
        h1:        ["4.236rem", { lineHeight: "1.05", letterSpacing: "-0.025em" }],
      },
      spacing: { rhythm: "1.618rem" },
    },
  },
} satisfies Config;

#14.17 Implementation: a TypeScript generator

For design-token pipelines, generate the scale instead of typing it:

export const PHI = (1 + Math.sqrt(5)) / 2; // 1.6180339887…

/** Sizes at n steps from base. divisions=2 → half-steps, 4 → quarter-steps. */
export function phiScale(base = 16, from = -2, to = 7, divisions = 2, roundTo = 0.5) {
  const ratio = Math.pow(PHI, 1 / divisions);
  const out: Record<string, { px: number; rem: string }> = {};
  for (let n = from; n <= to; n++) {
    const exact = base * Math.pow(ratio, n);
    const px = Math.round(exact / roundTo) * roundTo;
    out[n < 0 ? `n${-n}` : `${n}`] = { px, rem: `${(exact / 16).toFixed(3)}rem` };
  }
  return out;
}
// phiScale() → { n2:{px:10,rem:"0.618rem"}, n1:{px:12.5,rem:"0.786rem"}, 0:{px:16,rem:"1.000rem"},
//                1:{px:20.5,rem:"1.272rem"}, 2:{px:26,rem:"1.618rem"}, … 7:{px:86,rem:"5.388rem"} }

#14.18 Fluid variants with clamp() that keep φ proportions

Fluid type interpolates between a mobile size and a desktop size. To keep the scale intact, both ends must sit on the φ scale: here mobile uses base 16 and desktop uses base 18, so every role grows by the same factor (18 ÷ 16 = 1.125) and the ratios between roles never change.

Formula for viewport 360px → 1280px: slope = (max − min) ÷ (1280 − 360); intercept = min − slope × 360; clamp(min, intercept + slope×100vw, max), all converted to rem.

Large headings often need to drop a full half-step on phones (a 68px h1 on a 360px screen is three words per line). Keep both ends on the scale: mobile uses step n−1 at base 16, desktop uses step n at base 18.

The rem part in the middle term is what keeps zoom working: a clamp() with only vw in the preferred value ignores the user's font-size setting and fails WCAG 1.4.4.

#14.19 A worked type spec sheet (Inter, base 16, half-steps plus body-sm)

#14.20 Common traps

• Using φ for the ratio and adding "just one" 15px. The system is now two systems.
• Rounding tokens to whole px in rem (0.8125rem = 13px) and losing the ratio. Keep three-decimal rem.
• Setting heading line-height in px so it does not scale with the fluid size. Unitless only.
• Deriving spacing from a different scale (a 4px grid) and then wondering why text blocks look off-rhythm. Text spacing uses --rhythm.
• A clamp() with no rem term in the middle. It breaks zoom and fails accessibility.
• A display step in an admin panel. If nothing is ever 86px, do not generate the token; unused tokens get used badly.

#15. Weights and emphasis

#15.1 How many weights

Three. Almost always three:

A fourth weight is allowed for display only (800 or 900 in a hero). A fifth weight is a smell. Light weights (100–300) are for display sizes over 60px; at body size they fall apart on Windows and fail contrast.

#15.2 Weight per role

#15.3 Never fake it

If a weight or style is not loaded, the browser synthesises it: fake bold by smearing outlines, fake italic by slanting. Both look wrong and both are common when a team loads only 400 and uses <strong>. Either load the weight or turn synthesis off so the mistake is visible:

html { font-synthesis: none; }  /* no fake bold, no fake italic; missing weights show as 400 */

#15.4 Variable fonts

With a variable font, font-weight: 550 is valid and renders a true intermediate weight. Prefer font-weight over font-variation-settings: "wght" 550; the low-level property overrides the cascade and disables the browser's own mapping. Reserve font-variation-settings for axes without a high-level property (slnt, custom axes).

:root { --w-body: 400; --w-medium: 500; --w-strong: 600; }
.dark  { --w-body: 380; --w-medium: 480; --w-strong: 580; }  /* variable font: slightly lighter on dark */
body   { font-weight: var(--w-body); }

#15.5 Common traps

• Using weight as the only difference between two levels (h5 600 vs h6 500, same size). Change size too.
• 700 body text in a "premium" hero paragraph. Paragraphs are 400; the heading carries the weight.
• Loading 300 for "elegant" captions. At 12.58px on Windows, 300 is grey fuzz.
• Italic for emphasis in UI. Italic is for citations and editorial; UI emphasis is weight or color.

#16. Hierarchy in practice

#16.1 Rules

1. One h1 per screen. It names the screen. Everything else is subordinate.
2. Hierarchy is size + weight + color + spacing together. A level that differs by size alone is weak; by size and weight, adequate; by size, weight, and space above, unmistakable.
3. Do not skip steps in the scale for adjacent levels (h4 at 32.93 and h5 at 20.35 with nothing at 25.89 makes h5 read as body). Skip steps only between distant roles (h1 vs caption).
4. Consecutive headings need a body between them or the second one becomes a subtitle. Style it as one (lighter weight, muted color).
5. Muted is a level. Secondary text in the muted color is hierarchy; it is not a decorative grey.
6. The squint test. Blur your eyes (or set the page to 25% zoom). The screen must still show its structure: one dominant block, a few medium, the rest a texture. If everything blurs into one tone, weight and size are too close.
7. Fewer levels, clearer levels. A product needs about five visible levels on any single screen. If a screen uses eight, the scale is being used as decoration.

#16.2 Common traps

• Every card title, section title, and page title at 600 and within one half-step of each other.
• Using color alone (a blue heading) to mark hierarchy. Color is the weakest of the four dials.
• Centering everything, which removes the left-edge alignment the eye uses to read hierarchy.
• Adding a sixth heading level rather than restructuring the content.

#16.3 Three sample hierarchies on the φ scale

Dashboard (Inter, base 16, half-steps plus body-sm). Dense, scannable, nothing above 41.89 except a number.

Marketing site (Plus Jakarta Sans, base 16 mobile → 18 desktop, half-steps). Steep, expressive, tight tracking at the top.

Long-form article (Source Serif 4 body, Source Sans 3 UI, base 18, half-steps). Shallow, quiet, built for thousands of words.

The three share one method and one ratio and still look nothing alike. That is the point: the scale is a tool, and the content decides which steps get used.

#17. Numerals, tables, and data

#17.1 Tabular numerals are mandatory for data

Proportional figures (the default in most fonts) give "1" less width than "8". In a column, digits drift and the eye cannot compare magnitudes. Tabular figures give every digit the same width. Apply them to every table, KPI, price, counter, timer, and chart label:

.tabular, table td, .kpi, .price, [data-numeric] {
  font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums;
}
td.numeric { text-align: right; }        /* decimals align only when right-aligned */

#17.2 Lining vs oldstyle, and the zero

.id, .hash, code { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums slashed-zero; }
.article p       { font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums proportional-nums; }

#17.3 Currency and alignment

• Right-align numbers; left-align text; never center a numeric column.
• Fixed decimals per column: every amount in a column has the same number of decimals (1,200.00 and 35.50, never 1,200 next to 35.5).
• Format with Intl.NumberFormat, not string concatenation. It handles grouping, decimals, negative sign, and locale.
• Negative values: a true minus (U+2212 −) or accounting parentheses, chosen once per product.
• Units and currency symbols on the same side for the whole column.

const money = new Intl.NumberFormat("en", { style: "currency", currency: "USD", minimumFractionDigits: 2 });
<td className="text-right tabular-nums">{money.format(row.amount)}</td>

#17.4 Monospace for identifiers

Order numbers, hashes, API keys, SKUs, timestamps in logs: set them in the mono stack at one quarter-step below body (14.19px) with tabular figures and a slashed zero. Proportional sans for a 32-character hash is the single most common "this looks unprofessional" defect in admin UIs.

#17.5 Common traps

• tabular-nums set globally. Body text with tabular figures looks gappy around "1". Apply per role.
• A font that lacks tnum. Check before choosing; Section 11.2.
• KPI values in a display weight with proportional figures, so "1,111" and "8,888" are different widths and the cards misalign.
• Centered numeric columns with mixed decimals. Nothing lines up.

#18. OpenType features and rendering details

#18.1 High-level properties first

Prefer font-variant-* properties; they compose and cascade. Use font-feature-settings only for features that have no high-level property (stylistic sets, character variants), and remember that a font-feature-settings declaration replaces, not merges, any earlier one on the same element.

Inter example (codes per Inter 4; confirm against the release notes for the version you load):

.ui-text {
  font-feature-settings: "cv11" 1, "ss02" 1;   /* single-storey a; disambiguate I l 1 0 O */
}
.ui-data {
  font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums slashed-zero;
  font-feature-settings: "ss02" 1;
}

#18.2 Rendering properties, honestly

#18.3 Punctuation and wrapping

h1, h2, h3, .card-title { text-wrap: balance; }   /* equalises line lengths; Chrome limits it to a few lines */
p, li, blockquote       { text-wrap: pretty;  }   /* avoids single-word last lines where supported */
.prose                  { hanging-punctuation: first last; }  /* Safari only; harmless elsewhere */

• balance is for headings and short blocks. Do not apply it to paragraphs; the browser only balances short runs.
• pretty is progressive enhancement. Browsers without it render normally.
• hanging-punctuation pulls opening quotes into the margin so the text edge stays straight. Safari implements it; treat it as a bonus.

#18.4 Common traps

• A global font-feature-settings: "liga" 0 from an old reset, which also kills calt in Inter and makes spacing worse.
• Stylistic sets on by default in the whole app when only the data views need them.
• Trusting a Mac screenshot with antialiased on. Windows users see heavier text; check both.
• text-rendering: optimizeLegibility on body because a blog post said so.

#19. Loading and performance

#19.1 Delivery options

#19.2 next/font with Plus Jakarta Sans and Inter

// app/layout.tsx
import { Inter, Plus_Jakarta_Sans } from "next/font/google";

const inter = Inter({
  subsets: ["latin", "latin-ext"],
  display: "swap",
  variable: "--font-sans",
  axes: ["opsz"],               // only if the served version exposes the axis
});
const jakarta = Plus_Jakarta_Sans({
  subsets: ["latin"],
  weight: ["600", "700", "800"],   // display roles only; body is Inter
  display: "swap",
  variable: "--font-display",
});

export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" className={`${inter.variable} ${jakarta.variable}`}>
      <body className="font-sans antialiased">{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

/* Tailwind v4 */
@theme { --font-sans: var(--font-sans); --font-display: var(--font-display); }

next/font computes size-adjust, ascent-override, and descent-override for a local fallback automatically (adjustFontFallback defaults on). Do not add another @font-face for the same family.

#19.3 Self-hosting by hand

@font-face {
  font-family: "Inter";
  src: url("/fonts/InterVariable.woff2") format("woff2");
  font-weight: 100 900;             /* one variable file covers every weight */
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
  unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC,
                 U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}

Rules:

1. WOFF2 only. No TTF, OTF, WOFF, or EOT on the web in 2026. WOFF2 is universally supported and 30% smaller than WOFF.
2. Subset by script. Ship a Latin file and a separate Latin-extended or Cyrillic file, each with its own unicode-range; the browser downloads only what the page uses.
3. Variable file when the family has one. One request instead of three or four.
4. Preload only the critical file (the body weight of the body family), with crossorigin even for same-origin fonts, or the preload is ignored and the font downloads twice:

<link rel="preload" href="/fonts/InterVariable.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin>

5. Never preload every weight. Preloads compete with the HTML and CSS for bandwidth.

#19.4 font-display strategies

#19.5 Metric-matched fallbacks kill layout shift

A swapped font with different metrics reflows every line: paragraphs grow, buttons wrap, the page jumps. The fix is a second @font-face that reshapes a local font to the web font's metrics:

@font-face {
  font-family: "Inter Fallback";
  src: local("Arial");
  size-adjust: 107%;        /* example values; generate them, do not hand-type */
  ascent-override: 90%;
  descent-override: 22%;
  line-gap-override: 0%;
}
body { font-family: "Inter", "Inter Fallback", system-ui, sans-serif; }

Generate the numbers with a tool (next/font does it automatically; fontaine and @capsizecss/metrics do it for other stacks). Hand-typed values are guesses, and a wrong guess still shifts.

#19.6 Measuring the shift from fonts

1. Chrome DevTools → Performance → record a cold load with "Disable cache" and a throttled network. Open the Layout Shifts track; a shift at the moment the font arrives is a typography defect.
2. Lighthouse reports CLS; anything above 0.1 is a failure, and fonts are the usual cause when there are no late images.
3. In production, log onCLS from the web-vitals package with the attribution build to see which elements shifted.

import { onCLS } from "web-vitals/attribution";
onCLS(({ value, attribution }) => console.log("CLS", value, attribution.largestShiftTarget));

#19.7 Common traps

• display: swap with no metric fallback. Every cold load reflows.
• Preloading fonts referenced from a CSS file the page does not use.
• Serving the full 300KB Inter file with every script when the product is English only.
• Loading a font from Google Fonts and self-hosting it, so the browser downloads both.
• Icon fonts. Use SVG; an icon font with swap shows random letters until it loads.

#20. Responsive and fluid typography

#20.1 Two strategies

Both keep φ. In the breakpoint version, every size at every breakpoint is on the scale. In the fluid version, both ends are on the scale and the middle is interpolation. Do not fluid-scale body text more than one quarter-step (16 → 18); readers need the body to feel stable.

#20.2 Rules that do not move

• Body is never below 16px on phones. iOS Safari zooms into any input whose font-size is under 16px, and 14px paragraphs on a phone fail the arm's-length test.
• Headings drop one half-step on small screens, not two. A 67.78px h1 becomes 41.89, not 25.89; it must still be the loudest thing on the screen.
• Measure still applies. A 360px screen at 16px gives about 40 characters per line; that is under the 45 floor, and the fix is side padding no larger than 16px, not smaller text.
• Line-height stays unitless so it follows the fluid size.

#20.3 Breakpoint version of the scale

<h1 class="text-h3 sm:text-h2 lg:text-h1 font-bold tracking-tight text-balance">…</h1>

#20.4 Viewport unit pitfalls

• font-size: 5vw with no clamp() and no rem term: unbounded on wide screens, unreadable on narrow ones, and immune to zoom. Never.
• 100vw includes the scrollbar on desktop; do not use it to compute measure.
• vh-based type jumps when mobile browser chrome shows and hides. Type is never sized in vh.
• Container query units (cqi) are the right tool for a card title that should scale with its card, when supported; fall back to the breakpoint version.

#20.5 Common traps

• Testing responsive type at 375px and 1440px only. Check 320px and 1920px; both break differently.
• Shrinking body text to make a layout fit. Fix the layout.
• A fluid h1 whose desktop end is not on the scale because someone "tweaked the max".

#21. Readability and accessibility

#21.1 The numbers

#21.2 Rules

1. rem for every font-size. A user with a 20px browser default must get 20px body. px ignores them; so does a vw-only clamp().
2. Do not justify text. Justified text on the web creates rivers of white space and uneven word spacing; screen readers and dyslexic readers both suffer. Left-align.
3. Line-height 1.5 or more for body. φ (1.618) satisfies this with room to spare. Dyslexia-friendly guidance is 1.5+ with wide paragraph spacing and no italics for emphasis.
4. Uppercase gets tracking and stays short. All-caps runs over three words are slow to read; label-length only, with +0.06em to +0.08em.
5. Never convey meaning by color alone in text. A red word must also say "Error:".
6. prefers-contrast: more is a real signal. Raise muted text to a darker token when it is set; it costs one media query.
7. Focus, hover, and disabled states must keep contrast. Disabled text is exempt from WCAG but still has to be legible; aim for 3:1 at least.

:root { --text-muted: hsl(0 0% 45%); }         /* 4.5:1 on white and better */
@media (prefers-contrast: more) {
  :root { --text-muted: hsl(0 0% 25%); }
}

#21.3 Test at 200% and with forced spacing

Zoom the browser to 200% and read every screen. Then paste this in DevTools to simulate WCAG 1.4.12 and confirm nothing clips, overlaps, or hides:

* { line-height: 1.5 !important; letter-spacing: 0.12em !important; word-spacing: 0.16em !important; }
p  { margin-bottom: 2em !important; }

Fixed-height containers with overflow: hidden are what fail this test. Give text containers min-height, not height.

#21.4 Common traps

• Muted grey at 60% lightness on white (about 2.8:1) because "it looks elegant". It fails.
• Placeholder text at 3:1 used as the only label. Placeholders vanish on focus; use a real label.
• font-size: 62.5% on html "so 1rem = 10px". It confuses every third-party stylesheet and breaks user settings in some browsers.
• Icon-only buttons with a title and no visible text next to a 12px label that fails contrast.

#22. Dark mode typography

#22.1 Dark mode is not inversion

Light text on a dark ground looks bolder and brighter than the same weight dark-on-light, because light strokes bloom into the dark. Pure white on pure black is the harshest case: high glare, halos around bold text, and eye strain in long sessions. The fixes are small and all of them are tokens.

#22.2 Token set

:root {
  --fg:        hsl(0 0% 3.9%);
  --fg-muted:  hsl(0 0% 45.1%);
  --fg-subtle: hsl(0 0% 60%);     /* placeholders, disabled; 3:1 territory, never for content */
  --bg:        hsl(0 0% 100%);
  --w-heading: 700;
}
.dark {
  --fg:        hsl(0 0% 98%);
  --fg-muted:  hsl(0 0% 63.9%);
  --fg-subtle: hsl(0 0% 45%);
  --bg:        hsl(0 0% 3.9%);
  --w-heading: 600;
}
h1, h2, h3 { font-weight: var(--w-heading); }

#22.3 Common traps

• #fff on #000. Off-white on near-black, always.
• Keeping -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased only in light mode. Text weight then changes between themes on a Mac.
• Muted text at 40% lightness in dark mode "for subtlety". That is 3:1 on near-black at best; it fails.
• Forgetting that a colored link or badge text needs its own dark-mode token; the light value is usually too dark.

#23. Text color, opacity, and hierarchy

#23.1 Three tiers, no more

A fourth grey is a smell. If two greys are within 10% lightness of each other, merge them.

#23.2 Never use opacity on colored text

color: var(--brand); opacity: 0.6 does three bad things: the contrast becomes unpredictable (it depends on whatever is behind the element), the text shows what is underneath on layered surfaces (cards over patterns), and any child element inherits the fade. Use a real muted token instead. Opacity is acceptable on a whole disabled control, never on a text tier.

#23.3 Links

• In prose: underlined, in the foreground or brand color. Color alone is not enough (WCAG 1.4.1); the underline is the affordance.
• In UI (nav, tables): underline on hover and focus is acceptable when the context makes the link obvious; keep a 3:1 contrast against surrounding text if you rely on color.
• text-underline-offset: 0.15em and text-decoration-thickness: 1px keep underlines from cutting descenders.

.prose a { color: var(--fg); text-decoration: underline; text-underline-offset: 0.15em;
           text-decoration-color: var(--fg-subtle); }
.prose a:hover { text-decoration-color: currentColor; }

#23.4 Placeholders and disabled text

• Placeholder text is a hint, not a label. Give it --fg-subtle and put a real <label> above.
• Disabled text should still be readable at about 3:1; users need to know what the option was.

#23.5 Common traps

• Six named greys (gray-400, gray-500, slate-400, zinc-500, neutral-400, #888) doing the job of one muted token.
• White text at 70% opacity on a hero image. Contrast depends on the image; it fails on the bright parts.
• Brand-colored headings that fail 4.5:1 because the brand color was chosen for buttons, not text.

#24. Microtypography

The details a reader never consciously notices and always feels.

#24.1 Characters

Do this in the content layer or with a small formatter, not with CSS. quotes and ::before tricks do not survive copy and paste.

#24.2 Hyphenation

<html lang="en">

.prose p { hyphens: auto; }         /* needs a correct lang attribute, or nothing happens */
h1, h2, h3, .card-title { hyphens: manual; }   /* never auto-hyphenate headings */

Hyphenation only works when lang is right for the text. A page in one language marked as another gets wrong breaks, which is worse than none. UI strings (labels, buttons, nav) never hyphenate.

#24.3 Widows, orphans, and short last lines

• text-wrap: pretty on paragraphs removes most single-word last lines where supported.
• text-wrap: balance on headings prevents a two-line heading with one word on the second line.
• For print stylesheets, orphans: 3; widows: 3; keeps at least three lines of a paragraph together at a page break.
• A non-breaking space between the last two words of a heading is the manual fallback.

#24.4 Truncation

.truncate      { overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; }
.line-clamp-2  { display: -webkit-box; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; -webkit-line-clamp: 2; overflow: hidden; }

Truncation is a layout compromise, not a typography tool. It is allowed for: long descriptions in a card that also has a detail page, breadcrumbs, secondary metadata, sidebar titles with a full title attribute or tooltip.

Never truncate: people's names, company names, money, dates, error messages, IDs, addresses, or anything the user must compare or copy. Jonathan Christoph… and Jonathan Christoph… may be two different people. $1,250,0… is not a number. Wrap instead, or widen the column, or show the full value on a second line in the muted tier.

#24.5 Common traps

• Straight quotes in a hero headline. It reads as a draft.
• hyphens: auto on a page whose lang is missing, so nothing happens, or set to the wrong language, so breaks are wrong.
• Truncated table cells with no way to see the full value.
• letter-spacing used to make a heading fit on one line. Change the size or let it wrap.

#25. Typography audit and QA

Run this on the live product, not the design file, before any redesign and after any type change.

#25.1 Step 1 — Inventory every real value

Paste in the DevTools console on each main screen (or run through a headless browser across a URL list). It collects the computed font-size, weight, line-height, family, and color of every element that renders text:

const seen = new Map();
for (const el of document.querySelectorAll("body *")) {
  const t = [...el.childNodes].some(n => n.nodeType === 3 && n.textContent.trim());
  if (!t) continue;
  const s = getComputedStyle(el);
  const key = [s.fontFamily.split(",")[0], s.fontSize, s.fontWeight, s.lineHeight, s.color].join(" | ");
  seen.set(key, (seen.get(key) || 0) + 1);
}
console.table([...seen].sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1]).map(([k, n]) => ({ style: k, count: n })));

Record: number of distinct sizes, weights, line-heights, families, and text colors. A healthy product has roughly 8–12 sizes, 3 weights, 4–6 line-heights, 1–2 families, 3 text colors.

#25.2 Step 2 — Collapse to the φ scale

For each size found, map it to the nearest scale step and note the delta:

Rule: map by role, then check the size, not the other way round. Two 15px texts with different jobs may map to two different steps.

#25.3 Step 3 — Fix line-heights, measure, tracking

• Every body role gets 1.618 (or the documented value); every heading gets its spec value. Delete every line-height in px.
• Find paragraphs wider than 75 characters: [...document.querySelectorAll("p")].filter(p => p.getBoundingClientRect().width / parseFloat(getComputedStyle(p).fontSize) > 40) (a rough 0.5em-per-character check; verify by eye).
• Find positive letter-spacing on mixed-case text and negative on small text; both are defects.

#25.4 Step 4 — Contrast

Run an automated checker (Lighthouse, axe, or the browser's accessibility panel) and then check the muted tier by hand on every background it appears on (cards, tinted rows, dark mode). Automated tools miss text over images and gradients.

#25.5 Step 5 — Loading

Network panel, cold load, "Disable cache": count font requests, total font bytes, formats, and whether any file is not WOFF2 or is not subset. Then the Performance panel for layout shifts at the swap. Targets: 1–3 font files, under 150KB total for Latin, zero layout shift.

#25.6 Step 6 — Zoom, spacing, platforms

200% zoom on the three busiest screens. The WCAG 1.4.12 spacing override from Section 21.3. One Windows laptop at 100% scaling. One phone at 360px width. Both themes.

#25.7 Before and after

A typical admin product, audited on its five busiest screens:

The visual change is modest on any single screen. The change in how the product feels across screens is large, and no page had to be redesigned.

#25.8 Common traps

• Auditing one screen and extrapolating. The mess lives in the screens nobody opens.
• Fixing sizes but leaving px line-heights. The rhythm is still broken.
• Reporting "we use Inter" as a result. Report counts, before and after.
• Skipping the phone and Windows pass because the audit was done on a MacBook.

#26. Quick checklist (ready to use)

Content and reader

• Text roles inventoried (title, section, card, body, cell, KPI, badge, caption, helper, error, button, code, legal)
• Reading, scanning, or persuading product identified; base size chosen with a reason
• Languages and scripts listed; Latin extended or Cyrillic need confirmed
• Numeric columns identified; tabular numerals required
• Smallest text and where it appears identified
• Dominant devices known; phone minimum 16px body confirmed

Family

• One UI family chosen; second family only with a named job (display, mono, editorial serif)
• Weights available for every role (400, 500 or 600, one heavy for display)
• tnum and slashed zero confirmed if there is data
• Variable font used when available
• License checked; SF Pro used only through the system stack
• Rendering checked on Windows at 100% scaling and on a phone
• Full font stack string written with platform fallbacks

Scale

• Base and ratio (φ = 1.618) written down
• Half-steps (√φ = 1.272) added; quarter-steps only if the product is dense data UI
• Every step computed, with exact px, rounded px, and three-decimal rem
• One rounding rule applied to every step
• Only the steps that have a role are kept as tokens
• Rhythm unit = base × φ defined as --rhythm

Roles and spec sheet

• Every role has exactly one size, weight, line-height, letter-spacing, max-width, color token
• Body line-height 1.618 (or ≥ 1.5 with a reason); headings 1.0–1.25
• Letter-spacing negative above 25px, positive on small uppercase, zero on body
• Measure 45–75 characters on every paragraph role
• One h1 per screen; adjacent levels differ by size and at least one other property
• Numeric roles have tabular-nums; ID and code roles use the mono stack
• Spec sheet committed to the repository

Implementation

• Tokens in rem; no px font-size anywhere (grep -rn "font-size: *[0-9]*px" returns nothing)
• No arbitrary Tailwind sizes (text-[) outside the scale
• Default Tailwind sizes (text-sm … text-6xl) not used alongside the scale
• Line-heights unitless
• font-synthesis: none set, and every used weight and style actually loaded
• OpenType features applied per role, not globally
• text-wrap: balance on headings, pretty on paragraphs
• Curly quotes, real dashes, non-breaking spaces before units in copy

Loading

• WOFF2 only; subsets by unicode-range; variable file where possible
• next/font or a metric-matched fallback @font-face with size-adjust
• font-display: swap (with fallback metrics) or optional; never block for text
• Only the critical body font preloaded, with crossorigin
• Total Latin font bytes under about 150KB; 1–3 requests
• Zero layout shift from fonts on a throttled cold load

Responsive and accessibility

• Headings drop one half-step on small screens; both ends of any clamp() on the scale
• Every clamp() has a rem term; no vw-only sizes
• Contrast 4.5:1 normal, 3:1 large, checked on every background including images and dark mode
• Muted tier ≥ 4.5:1; subtle tier only for placeholders and disabled
• 200% zoom and WCAG 1.4.12 spacing override pass on the busiest screens
• Text never justified; no meaning by color alone
• prefers-contrast: more raises the muted token
• Dark mode: off-white on near-black, headings one weight lighter, muted tier re-tuned

Audit and hand-over

• DevTools inventory run on the five busiest screens; counts recorded before and after
• Every found size mapped to a step by role
• Nothing truncated that carries meaning (names, money, dates, errors, IDs)
• Exceptions written down with reasons
• Spec sheet, token file, and audit result handed over together

#28. Worked examples

#28.1 A SaaS dashboard on Inter

Situation. A billing and usage dashboard: tables of invoices, KPI cards, a settings area with forms. Users sit at desktops for hours; a minority check it on phones. The existing app used Roboto at 13px in tables, 14px elsewhere, and a text-2xl page title, with numbers in proportional figures that never lined up.

Analysis. Scanning product, data-heavy, Latin plus Latin-extended customer names. The content inventory found 14 roles; nine of them are 12–16px. Tabular numerals are mandatory. Nothing on the screen is a headline; the largest text is a KPI number.

Decision.

• Family: Inter, variable, latin + latin-ext through next/font, weights 400 / 500 / 600. Mono: ui-monospace stack for invoice IDs.
• Scale: base 16, half-steps plus body-sm (14.19). No token above φ² (41.89).
• Roles: page title 25.89 / 600; section title 20.35 / 600; card title 16 / 600; table cell 14.19 / 400 with tabular-nums on numeric columns; table header 12.58 / 600 muted; KPI 41.89 / 600 / line-height 1.0 / −0.02em / tabular-nums; caption 12.58 / 400 muted; labels 14.19 / 500.
• Features: ss02 on data views (disambiguation), slashed-zero on IDs.
• Loading: one variable WOFF2 per subset, preload latin, display: swap with next/font fallback metrics.

.kpi-value { font-size: var(--fs-4); font-weight: 600; line-height: 1; letter-spacing: -0.02em;
             font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; }
td.num     { font-size: var(--fs-sm); text-align: right; font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; }
.id        { font-family: var(--font-mono); font-size: var(--fs-sm); font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums slashed-zero; }

Outcome. Distinct sizes went from 16 to 8. Invoice columns align; KPI cards stay the same width regardless of digits. The page title is smaller than before (25.89 vs 30) and reads as more authoritative because it is the only 600-weight text at that size. Vietnamese customer names stopped falling back to a different font. CLS on cold load went from 0.09 to 0.

#28.2 A marketing site on Plus Jakarta Sans

Situation. A product marketing site: hero, feature sections, pricing, a blog. The brand wants "warm, modern, confident". The previous version used a display face for everything, including 600-word blog posts, and body text at 15px with line-height 1.3.

Analysis. Persuading product, phone-heavy traffic, short copy in sections and long copy in the blog. Latin only. Needs one voice at 96px and a comfortable read at 18px.

Decision.

• Family: Plus Jakarta Sans for everything, weights 400 / 600 / 700 / 800 (800 only for the hero display). One family; the blog uses the same face at 400 with a generous measure, so a serif is not needed.
• Scale: base 16 on phones, base 18 from 1024px; half-steps. Fluid clamp() from Section 14.18 for h1–h3 and display, with the mobile end one half-step lower.
• Roles: display 86.21 → 96.99 (desktop base 18) / 800 / 1.0 / −0.03em / max 16ch, balance; h2 41.89 → 59.94 / 700 / 1.1 / −0.02em; h3 25.89 → 37.05 / 600 / 1.2; lead 20.35 → 22.90 / 400 muted / max 60ch; body 16 → 18 / 400 / 1.618 / max 65ch, pretty; eyebrow 12.58 → 14.15 / 600 / uppercase / +0.08em; caption 12.58 / 400 muted.
• Loading: next/font, latin subset, four weights as a variable file, display: swap.

<section className="max-w-[16ch] text-balance font-extrabold leading-none tracking-[-0.03em]
                    text-[clamp(3.344rem,2.793rem+2.446vw,4.750rem)]">
  Ship the plan, not the meeting.
</section>
<p className="mt-rhythm max-w-[60ch] text-lead text-fg-muted">…</p>

Outcome. The hero reads as one block at every width because both ends of the clamp() sit on the scale. Blog posts became readable: 18px at 1.618 with a 65ch measure replaced 15px at 1.3 running the full container width. The site loads one font file instead of six, and the "warm" brand comes from a single family used with discipline rather than from a second face.

#28.3 A native-feel web app on the Apple system stack

Situation. An internal operations tool used on company MacBooks and iPads, with some Windows laptops in the warehouse. The brief: "make it feel like a real app, and it must load instantly on a bad connection". A previous attempt self-hosted SF Pro files copied from a Mac.

Analysis. Scanning product, forms and lists, zero tolerance for font download time. Mixed platforms, so the type must look correct on SF Pro, Segoe UI, and Roboto, none of which share exact metrics. Self-hosting SF Pro is a license violation and must be removed.

Decision.

• Family: the system stack, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; mono: ui-monospace, "SF Mono", Menlo, Consolas, monospace. No web font at all.
• Scale: base 17 (matches the iOS body size, comfortable on iPad), half-steps: 10.51 / 13.36 / 17 / 21.62 / 27.51 / 34.99 / 44.51. Rem tokens: 0.657 / 0.835 / 1.062 / 1.352 / 1.719 / 2.187 / 2.782.
• Roles: page title 27.51 / 600; section header 13.36 / 600 uppercase +0.06em muted (the "grouped list" look); body and list rows 17 / 400; secondary 13.36 / 400 muted; buttons 17 / 500; KPI 44.51 / 600 tabular-nums.
• Weight set 400 / 500 / 600, which every platform's system font provides.
• Tracking left at 0 at all sizes on Apple devices (the OS applies its own dynamic tracking); −0.01em applied only above 27px through a @supports not (font: -apple-system-body) guard is over-engineering, so the team accepted slightly looser large titles on Windows instead.

:root { --fs-0: 1.062rem; --fs-1: 1.352rem; --fs-2: 1.719rem; --fs-n1: 0.835rem; --rhythm: 1.719rem; }
html  { font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif; }
.list-header { font-size: var(--fs-n1); font-weight: 600; text-transform: uppercase;
               letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: var(--fg-muted); }

Outcome. Zero font bytes, no layout shift, and the tool looks native on every Mac and iPad. Windows users see Segoe UI with the same scale and weights; screenshots differ, behaviour does not. The SF Pro files were deleted from the repository and the license risk with them.

#29. Anti-patterns (blacklist)

1. Sizes that accumulate instead of being chosen: 12, 13, 13.5, 14, 15, 16, 17 all "for a reason" nobody remembers.
2. Font sizes in px, which ignore the user's browser setting and fail WCAG 1.4.4.
3. A clamp() or vw size with no rem term, which cannot be zoomed.
4. Self-hosting SF Pro, SF Compact, or New York on a website. Apple's license does not allow it.
5. Claiming the system stack "uses SF Pro" without saying that Windows and Android users see other fonts.
6. Three text families on one product.
7. Two neutral grotesques paired as if they were a contrast (Inter + Geist).
8. Display faces or 300-weight text used for body copy.
9. Fake bold and fake italic from unloaded weights, with font-synthesis left on.
10. Proportional numerals in tables, KPIs, prices, timers, or IDs.
11. Centered numeric columns with mixed decimals.
12. Line-heights in px, which stop scaling the moment the size changes.
13. Body line-height under 1.5, or heading line-height under 1.0 without checking descenders.
14. Paragraphs running the full container width at 90–120 characters per line.
15. Justified text on the web.
16. Positive letter-spacing on mixed-case body text, or none on small uppercase labels.
17. Using letter-spacing to squeeze a heading onto one line.
18. Six greys doing the work of three text tiers, or opacity used to fade colored text.
19. Muted text below 4.5:1 because it "looks elegant".
20. #fff on #000 in dark mode, with 700-weight headings that glow.
21. font-display: swap with no metric-matched fallback, so every cold load reflows.
22. Preloading every weight, or loading a font from Google Fonts and self-hosting it too.
23. Shipping TTF or OTF files, or an unsubset 300KB font for an English-only product.
24. Global font-feature-settings or tabular-nums on body.
25. Trusting -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased screenshots from a Mac as what everyone sees.
26. Truncating names, money, dates, error messages, or IDs with an ellipsis.
27. Straight quotes, hyphens as dashes, and three dots in a hero headline.
28. hyphens: auto with a missing or wrong lang attribute.
29. Auditing the design file instead of the computed styles in the live product.
30. Declaring the type system done without a spec sheet in the repository.

#30. Critical questions for self-review

1. Can I write every font size on this screen as base × φ^(n/2)? Which one cannot, and why is it still there?
2. What is the base, and what in the content inventory justified it?
3. Does the product use half-steps or quarter-steps, and is it exactly one of the two?
4. Is every font-size token in rem? Did I grep for px font sizes and text-[?
5. Is body line-height φ, or at least 1.5, and is every heading line-height unitless?
6. What is the rhythm unit, and is every gap between text blocks a multiple of it?
7. How many weights are loaded, and does each role use exactly one of them?
8. Is font-synthesis: none set, so a missing weight shows as a visible defect instead of a smear?
9. Which text on this screen is numeric, and does every piece of it have tabular-nums?
10. Where are IDs, hashes, and codes, and are they in the mono stack with a slashed zero?
11. Would the hierarchy survive the squint test? What is the one dominant element?
12. Is any adjacent heading pair separated by size alone?
13. Is the longest paragraph within 75 characters per line at every breakpoint?
14. Does any text fail 4.5:1 on any background it appears on, including tinted rows, images, and dark mode?
15. Does the page hold together at 200% zoom and under the WCAG 1.4.12 spacing override?
16. On a cold, throttled load, does anything move when the font arrives?
17. How many font files load, in which format, at what total size, and is every one of them used?
18. Is any font on this page one I am not licensed to serve from my origin?
19. Have I looked at this on a Windows laptop and on a 360px phone, in both themes?
20. Is anything truncated that a user might need to compare, copy, or trust?
21. Is the spec sheet committed, and does the audit report show counts before and after?
