Typography Audit

\n

78 rules in 10 categories for web typography. Every finding names file, rule, and fix.

\n\n

Audit Workflow

\n

Track this checklist:

\n
Audit progress:\n- [ ] Step 1: Scope. List changed files (or full sweep), map signals to categories\n- [ ] Step 2: Run CRITICAL rules in scope (font-, size-, punct-)\n- [ ] Step 3: Run HIGH rules in scope (spacing-)\n- [ ] Step 4: Run remaining in-scope categories by descending priority\n- [ ] Step 5: Report per the contract; every finding has file:line, rule ID, fix\n
\n
    \n
  1. Scope to changed files unless a full sweep is requested. For a PR, use the diff against its actual base merge-base, including committed changes, filtered to .css, .scss, .html, .tsx/.jsx, and template files.
    2. \n
  2. Map code to categories via the signal table; skip categories with no signal.
    3. \n
  3. Load rule files by prefix (rules/font-*.md, etc.), only for the categories the signals selected.
    4. \n
  4. Run categories in priority order so CRITICAL findings surface even if the audit is cut short.
    5. \n
  5. After fixes, re-run only the rules that produced findings, then finalize the report.
    6. \n

Category map and impact rationale: rules/_sections.md. Each rule file gives why it matters plus an incorrect and a correct example. Category impact reflects the category's worst-case rules; report findings with the rule's own frontmatter impact, which frequently differs (e.g. brand-color is HIGH inside the MEDIUM brand- category because it holds the WCAG contrast floor).

Review Output Contract

\n

Report findings as:

\n
## Typography Audit Findings\n\n### path/to/file.css\n- [CRITICAL] `punct-smart-quotes` (file.css:42): Straight quotes in heading copy.\n  - Fix: Replace `\"` with `&ldquo;`/`&rdquo;` (or UTF-8 curly quotes).\n- [CRITICAL] `size-line-height` (file.css:18): `line-height: 20px`, a fixed value the 48px `h1` inherits, so its lines overlap.\n  - Fix: Use unitless `line-height: 1.5`.\n\n### path/to/clean-file.css\n- ✓ pass\n
