Frequently asked questions
What makes a website typography-led?
A typography-led site uses type hierarchy, spacing, and editorial rhythm as the primary way to shape the experience. Images may still matter, but the interface would lose its identity if the type system were removed.
Are typography-heavy sites harder to make usable?
They can be, especially when visual ambition overwhelms readability. The strongest examples solve that by treating hierarchy, measure, and responsive behavior as part of the design system, not as afterthoughts.
