- "content": "Also known as text styles in Figma, Spectrum uses type styles to help maintain a consistent semantic meaning and create accessible, legible, and on-brand experiences across platforms. The type styles include Heading, Title, Body, Detail, Component, Code, and Monospace numbers. These styles come in a range of t-shirt sizes (such as Small, Medium, and Large) and encompass typography elements like font family, font size, line height, weight, and color. This ensures that all Adobe interfaces can maintain a predictable sense of information hierarchy. Keep in mind that a single product won't need all of these sizes, and especially at the same time. Spectrum's type styles are intentionally comprehensive to allow platform and product teams to selectively choose type styles that accommodate their unique needs. As a starting point, use a t-shirt size from each of the type styles. For example: pair Heading Medium with Title Medium, Body Medium, and Medium t-shirt sized components. If you'd like to override these styles, there's some flexibility for you to define your own typography and hierarchy as long as any customization follows Spectrum guidance for font size and color usage. Use what best fits your context and best supports your users.

The type styles include Heading, Title, Body, Detail, Component, Code, and Monospace numbers. These styles come in a range of t-shirt sizes (such as Small, Medium, and Large) and encompass typography elements like font family, font size, line height, weight, and color.

It's not about tinting the whole SVG in one color, but tinting single elements inside the SVG. To do this, the new SVGs use named CSS variables to set color values for every element. There will be Spectrum tokens for this, so automatic tinting will work out-of-the-box in any product using Spectrum CSS. For other apps, it will be easier to add the needed color information to their own CSS. Transparencies will be used to achieve tints of the primary icon color, making it easy to use at least the gray tone when it's not possible to work with CSS variables."
