Typography

Two families do everything: Geist for the interface, JetBrains Mono for code, eyebrows, pricing, and anywhere numbers need to line up. Sizes, weights, and spacing below are read live from @elirobinson/tokens/tokens.css.

Families

Geist covers Latin, Latin-Extended, Cyrillic, and Greek. The package currently loads both families from Google Fonts via @import — the stylesheet's own comment flags this as a placeholder: if you have licensed .woff2 files, self-host them and replace the import.

The scale

A perfect-fourth-ish ramp on a 16px base. Body text never goes below --fs-md — the smaller steps are for captions, eyebrows, and metadata, not paragraphs.

Weights

400 for body, 500 for UI labels, 600 for headings, 700+ for display peaks. Light (300) exists but earns its place rarely.

Line height

Body text sits at 1.65 — relaxed and forgiving on purpose; accessibility-first beats dense. Display type tightens to 1.05.

Tracking

Display sizes tighten (−0.025em), body stays neutral, and mono eyebrows open up (+0.08em, uppercase).

Rules that keep it coherent

• Sentence case for headings. Title Case is reserved for product names and the tagline.
• Mono for numbers that compare — tables, pricing, stats — with tabular figures.
• clamp() for display sizes so long translations don't break layouts (the t-display-* classes in tokens.css already do this).
• Never justify text. Left-aligned, ragged right.
