Rules
Do
  • Set body in cobalt — it clears WCAG AAA on white
  • Use weight (500 / 700) for emphasis
  • Headings: 1.2 line-height, slightly negative tracking
  • Body: 1.5 line-height, no tracking
  • One sentence per line for scannable layouts
Don't
  • Italics for emphasis — use weight or color instead
  • Add a second display font — Figtree 700 is enough
  • System-font stacks as primary (Inter, Roboto, Arial)
  • Underlines on headings — reserved for hyperlinks
  • All-caps body — only x-small eyebrows
