Typography

The typography system is built on the principle of clear information hierarchy and optimal readability. Using Noto Sans as the primary typeface ensures excellent legibility across all devices and languages while maintaining a modern, approachable personality.

Typography in Context

Article Example

The Future of Membership Management

Organizations today face unprecedented challenges in managing their membership base. Traditional platforms often fall short of modern expectations, leaving administrators frustrated and members disengaged.

Understanding the Problem

The membership management landscape has evolved rapidly, but many platforms haven't kept pace. This creates a gap between what organizations need and what's available.

Key Challenges

From outdated user interfaces to limited customization options, the challenges are numerous and impact both administrators and members alike.

Technical Limitations

Legacy systems often struggle with modern integration requirements, making it difficult to create seamless workflows.

Usage Guidelines

Best Practices

Use only one H1 per page for proper SEO and accessibility
Maintain logical heading hierarchy (don't skip levels)
Keep line lengths between 45-75 characters for optimal readability
Use sufficient contrast ratios for all text combinations
Test typography at different zoom levels (up to 200%)
