Typography systems that scale

A simple framework for keeping headings, body copy, and UI labels consistent.

Consistency is the real luxury

Great typography makes complex layouts feel calm and intentional.

I treat typography like a design system: headings, paragraphs, and labels all follow a repeatable pattern. That is what makes the overall experience feel premium.

Define hierarchy

Every page needs one clear headline, a single supporting line, and lightweight body copy.

Set rhythm

Consistent spacing between headings, paragraphs, and cards keeps long pages readable.

Respect scale

Font size jumps should feel intentional. Small screens get tighter steps, not just smaller text.

Practical rules

These rules keep typography clean across every page.

  • Use one primary heading size per page
  • Keep body copy between 14px and 18px equivalents
  • Use uppercase labels sparingly for emphasis
  • Match line-height to the tone of the content
