Typography

Typography is based on the use of two fonts and a set of styles that include font, weight, font size, and leading.

Two fonts are used by default: Inter for standard typesetting and headings, and Menlo as a monospace font. Inter is available in Google Fonts, and Menlo is pre-installed on some operating systems. You can change these fonts according to your brand's guidelines.

Font parameters

Size and leading

The leading determines the space between the baselines, and the font size establishes the size of the font. These two parameters determine the readability of the text.

Weight

The weight is specified for text styles (the default for the Body and Caption groups is 400) and display styles (the default for Subheader, Header, and Display is 600). By default, display styles have more weight. However, there may be exceptions.

Style groups

Body

Used for all types of text. Inter is set as the default (400).

Body

Body 1 Short has reduced leading and is used within narrow content blocks (up to 300–400px in width).

Caption

The smallest fonts of all available fonts. Used as styles for captions, footnotes, and any additional information. Inter is set as the default (400).

Caption

Most commonly used as headings in interfaces where information density is crucial. Inter is set as the default (600).

Header

Subheader

Can be used as subheadings or as accents when paired with appropriate body styles. Inter is set as the default (600).

Subheader

Display

Suitable for situations where display is more important than information density, such as in communication design. Inter is set as the default (600).

Display

Code

Used to display code in separate blocks. Menlo is set as the default.

Code

Code Inline

Used to output code that is embedded in plain text. Reduced line spacing is used for optical compensation and alignment with plain text. When changing fonts, make sure that the inline code is displayed correctly. Menlo is set as the default.
