Typography is the voice of your interface

Before a reader understands a sentence, they experience its shape. Dense text may feel demanding, generous spacing may feel calm, and a playful heading may suggest a different kind of conversation. Typography sets expectations before the words do.

Build a restrained hierarchy

Choose a small number of sizes and give each one a job. Distinguish a title, a section heading, and supporting text through size and weight. Consistency makes the page easier to scan without turning every element into a competing announcement.

Let the paragraph breathe

Use a comfortable line length and enough leading to keep adjacent lines distinct. Test real paragraphs rather than a single attractive headline. A typeface that looks elegant at a large size may become tiring in sustained reading.

A better practice begins with one decision you can repeat.

Test the awkward cases

Long titles, zoomed text, and narrow screens reveal weak decisions. Avoid fixed heights on text containers. Good typography continues to support the message when the content refuses to fit the ideal example.
