A SHARED RHYTHM

A scale that holds together.

Use this scale as a starting point in products and presentations. The specimens are scaled for this guide; the labels show the intended size / line height in pixels and weight. Adapt display sizes to the available space.

01 / LET TYPE BREATHE

Readability comes first.

Keep body text around 45–75 characters per line. Use 1.6–1.8 line height for longer reading. Start product body text at 16px; reserve compact labels for short, secondary information.

02 / KEEP HIERARCHY QUIET

Use fewer weights well.

Use 400 for reading, 550 for headlines, and 650 for emphasis. Tighten headline tracking slightly. Use Mono sparingly: labels, numbers, code, and small moments of character.

Open type. Shared standards.

Self-hosted WOFF2 fonts and their licenses are included in the kit.
