Select, pair, and implement typefaces for web projects. Use when the user mentions "font pairing", "which typeface", "line height", "responsive typography", "web font loading", "type hierarchy", "variable fonts", "FOUT/FOIT", or "typographic scale". Also trigger when choosing between system fonts and web fonts, optimizing font loading performance, or designing readable long-form content layouts. Covers readability evaluation, CSS implementation, and performance optimization. For overall UI design systems, see refactoring-ui. For dramatic typographic experiences, see top-design.

Creates modular typography scales with size, weight, and line-height relationships for consistent digital interfaces.

SKILL — Typography

Build web interfaces that fuse Swiss typographic design with military terminal aesthetics, using rigid grids, extreme type scale contrast, utilitarian color, and analog degradation effects for data-heavy dashboards, portfolios, or editorial sites.

Applies the System Usability Scale (SUS) framework to guide decision-making, structure analysis, and improve outcomes in design and user experience contexts.

Select a consistent visual design system for PPT slides using radius/spacing style recipes, including Sharp, Soft, Rounded, and Pill variants with component mappings and typography rules.

Select, pair, and implement typefaces for web projects with guidance on readability, CSS implementation, and performance optimization.

Creates a 1920×1080 presentation deck with React-like component layout, strict typography and color constraints, and no template restrictions.

Audit and fix visual hierarchy, spacing, color, and depth in web UIs. Use when the user mentions "my UI looks off", "fix the design", "Tailwind styling", "color palette", "visual hierarchy", "design system", "spacing scale", or "component styling". Also trigger when building consistent design tokens, creating dark mode themes, improving data visualization clarity, or polishing UI details before launch. Covers grayscale-first workflow, constrained design scales, shadows, and component styling. For typeface selection, see web-typography. For usability audits, see ux-heuristics.

The art and science of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and visually appealing. Typography is the invisible art - when done well, readers absorb content without noticing the craft. When done poorly, they struggle without knowing why. Great typography creates visual hierarchy, establishes rhythm, conveys emotion, and guides the eye through content. It combines centuries of print wisdom with modern digital constraints - understanding that a typeface designed for books may fail on screens, that line length affects comprehension, and that the space between letters matters as much as the letters themselves. This skill covers type selection, pairing, scaling, spacing, responsive typography, variable fonts, font loading optimization, and accessibility. Master typographers know that choosing a font is the easy part - the craft is in the details of how it's set. Use when "typography, font, typeface, type scale, line height, leading, kerning, tracking, font pairing, font loading, variable font

Massimo Vignelli's complete design discipline, distilled from The Vignelli Canon. Encodes the Intangibles (semantics, discipline, appropriateness, timelessness, equity) and the Tangibles (the grid, the six basic typefaces, a two-size type scale, rulers, primary-color-as-identifier, white space) into an applyable method, plus the railway-signage module logic from his Grandi Stazioni and NYC Subway work, a deterministic token generator, and production notes for taking the system from code into images and the real world. Use when: designing or critiquing any visual artifact that should read as disciplined, timeless, or Swiss-modernist — brand and identity systems, design systems and style guides, editorial, book, and poster layouts, and especially transit/wayfinding signage and route diagrams.
