Name used in code
font-family / font-size / line-height Before you ship
Check content order, shared design values, component consistency, contrast, zoom, and layout changes by screen size. Verify every theme, language, and state. If there is motion, offer an equal reduced-motion experience.
Outcome: Use or define Typography to make the visual experience clear and easy to use. User context: Headings, body text, labels, and code each use planned fonts, sizes, weights, and line heights. Design concept to apply: Typography. Why it fits: Use it to help people scan dense content and to give the product a clear voice. Do not use it when: Never choose a font only for its look. Check language support and whether every letter is easy to read. Design requirements: Set the content order, shared design values, and reusable components. Define how the layout changes by screen size and state. Keep useful design choices separate from decoration. Inclusion and resilience: Check contrast, zoom, languages, themes, and reduced motion when needed. Do not use color or effects as the only way to show meaning. Acceptance criteria: The design stays clear on phones and desktops, at zoom, in every theme, and in all supported languages. Interactive states stay clear and consistent. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): No single official standard controls the whole term. Its meaning may change across teams, platforms, or frameworks. Unknowns to confirm: Brand limits, amount of content, supported themes and languages, target devices, and design-system rules.

Release checks: Check content order, shared design values, component consistency, contrast, zoom, and layout changes by screen size. Verify every theme, language, and state. If there is motion, offer an equal reduced-motion experience. Before changing code, report the evidence you found, gaps, severity, and the smallest safe fix.
