What it is

  • Serif display and body from one family keeps long reading passages typographically consistent.
  • An 8pt baseline grid enforces vertical rhythm across headings, body copy, and spacing.
  • Accessibility bar includes reduced-motion support, 44px touch targets, and high-contrast handling.

What it covers
