+# Responsive Design
+
+## Mobile-First: Write It Right
+
+Start with base styles for mobile, use `min-width` queries to layer complexity. Desktop-first (`max-width`) means mobile loads unnecessary styles first.
+
+## Breakpoints: Content-Driven
+
+Don't chase device sizes—let content tell you where to break. Start narrow, stretch until design breaks, add breakpoint there. Three breakpoints usually suffice (640, 768, 1024px). Use `clamp()` for fluid values without breakpoints.
+
+## Detect Input Method, Not Just Screen Size
+
+**Screen size doesn't tell you input method.** A laptop with touchscreen, a tablet with keyboard—use pointer and hover queries:
+
+```css
+/* Fine pointer (mouse, trackpad) */
+@media (pointer: fine) {
+  .button { padding: 8px 16px; }
+}
+
+/* Coarse pointer (touch, stylus) */
+@media (pointer: coarse) {
+  .button { padding: 12px 20px; }  /* Larger touch target */
+}
+
+/* Device supports hover */
+@media (hover: hover) {
+  .card:hover { transform: translateY(-2px); }
+}
+
+/* Device doesn't support hover (touch) */
+@media (hover: none) {
+  .card { /* No hover state - use active instead */ }
+}
+```
+
+**Critical**: Don't rely on hover for functionality. Touch users can't hover.
+
+## Safe Areas: Handle the Notch
+
+Modern phones have notches, rounded corners, and home indicators. Use `env()`:
+
+```css
+body {
+  padding-top: env(safe-area-inset-top);
+  padding-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom);
+  padding-left: env(safe-area-inset-left);
+  padding-right: env(safe-area-inset-right);
+}
+
+/* With fallback */
+.footer {
+  padding-bottom: max(1rem, env(safe-area-inset-bottom));
+}
+```
+
+**Enable viewport-fit** in your meta tag:
+```html
+<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">
+```
+
+## Responsive Images: Get It Right
+
+### srcset with Width Descriptors
+
+```html
+<img
+  src="hero-800.jpg"
+  srcset="
+    hero-400.jpg 400w,
+    hero-800.jpg 800w,
+    hero-1200.jpg 1200w
+  "
+  sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
+  alt="Hero image"
+>
+```
+
+**How it works**:
+- `srcset` lists available images with their actual widths (`w` descriptors)
+- `sizes` tells the browser how wide the image will display
+- Browser picks the best file based on viewport width AND device pixel ratio
+
+### Picture Element for Art Direction
+
+When you need different crops/compositions (not just resolutions):
+
+```html
+<picture>
+  <source media="(min-width: 768px)" srcset="wide.jpg">
+  <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="tall.jpg">
+  <img src="fallback.jpg" alt="...">
+</picture>
+```
+
+## Layout Adaptation Patterns
+
+**Navigation**: Three stages—hamburger + drawer on mobile, horizontal compact on tablet, full with labels on desktop. **Tables**: Transform to cards on mobile using `display: block` and `data-label` attributes. **Progressive disclosure**: Use `<details>/<summary>` for content that can collapse on mobile.
+
+## Testing: Don't Trust DevTools Alone
+
+DevTools device emulation is useful for layout but misses:
+
+- Actual touch interactions
+- Real CPU/memory constraints
+- Network latency patterns
+- Font rendering differences
+- Browser chrome/keyboard appearances
+
+**Test on at least**: One real iPhone, one real Android, a tablet if relevant. Cheap Android phones reveal performance issues you'll never see on simulators.
+
+---
+
+**Avoid**: Desktop-first design. Device detection instead of feature detection. Separate mobile/desktop codebases. Ignoring tablet and landscape. Assuming all mobile devices are powerful.

+# Spatial Design
+
+## Spacing Systems
+
+### Use 4pt Base, Not 8pt
+
+8pt systems are too coarse—you'll frequently need 12px (between 8 and 16). Use 4pt for granularity: 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96px.
+
+### Name Tokens Semantically
+
+Name by relationship (`--space-sm`, `--space-lg`), not value (`--spacing-8`). Use `gap` instead of margins for sibling spacing—it eliminates margin collapse and cleanup hacks.
+
+## Grid Systems
+
+### The Self-Adjusting Grid
+
+Use `repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr))` for responsive grids without breakpoints. Columns are at least 280px, as many as fit per row, leftovers stretch. For complex layouts, use named grid areas (`grid-template-areas`) and redefine them at breakpoints.
+
+## Visual Hierarchy
+
+### The Squint Test
+
+Blur your eyes (or screenshot and blur). Can you still identify:
+- The most important element?
+- The second most important?
+- Clear groupings?
+
+If everything looks the same weight blurred, you have a hierarchy problem.
+
+### Hierarchy Through Multiple Dimensions
+
+Don't rely on size alone. Combine:
+
+| Tool | Strong Hierarchy | Weak Hierarchy |
+|------|------------------|----------------|
+| **Size** | 3:1 ratio or more | <2:1 ratio |
+| **Weight** | Bold vs Regular | Medium vs Regular |
+| **Color** | High contrast | Similar tones |
+| **Position** | Top/left (primary) | Bottom/right |
+| **Space** | Surrounded by white space | Crowded |
+
+**The best hierarchy uses 2-3 dimensions at once**: A heading that's larger, bolder, AND has more space above it.
+
+### Cards Are Not Required
+
+Cards are overused. Spacing and alignment create visual grouping naturally. Use cards only when content is truly distinct and actionable, items need visual comparison in a grid, or content needs clear interaction boundaries. **Never nest cards inside cards**—use spacing, typography, and subtle dividers for hierarchy within a card.
+
+## Container Queries
+
+Viewport queries are for page layouts. **Container queries are for components**:
+
+```css
+.card-container {
+  container-type: inline-size;
+}
+
+.card {
+  display: grid;
+  gap: var(--space-md);
+}
+
+/* Card layout changes based on its container, not viewport */
+@container (min-width: 400px) {
+  .card {
+    grid-template-columns: 120px 1fr;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Why this matters**: A card in a narrow sidebar stays compact, while the same card in a main content area expands—automatically, without viewport hacks.
+
+## Optical Adjustments
+
+Text at `margin-left: 0` looks indented due to letterform whitespace—use negative margin (`-0.05em`) to optically align. Geometrically centered icons often look off-center; play icons need to shift right, arrows shift toward their direction.
+
+### Touch Targets vs Visual Size
+
+Buttons can look small but need large touch targets (44px minimum). Use padding or pseudo-elements:
+
+```css
+.icon-button {
+  width: 24px;  /* Visual size */
+  height: 24px;
+  position: relative;
+}
+
+.icon-button::before {
+  content: '';
+  position: absolute;
+  inset: -10px;  /* Expand tap target to 44px */
+}
+```
+
+## Depth & Elevation
+
+Create semantic z-index scales (dropdown → sticky → modal-backdrop → modal → toast → tooltip) instead of arbitrary numbers. For shadows, create a consistent elevation scale (sm → md → lg → xl). **Key insight**: Shadows should be subtle—if you can clearly see it, it's probably too strong.
+
+---
+
+**Avoid**: Arbitrary spacing values outside your scale. Making all spacing equal (variety creates hierarchy). Creating hierarchy through size alone - combine size, weight, color, and space.

+# Typography
+
+## Classic Typography Principles
+
+### Vertical Rhythm
+
+Your line-height should be the base unit for ALL vertical spacing. If body text has `line-height: 1.5` on `16px` type (= 24px), spacing values should be multiples of 24px. This creates subconscious harmony—text and space share a mathematical foundation.
+
+### Modular Scale & Hierarchy
+
+The common mistake: too many font sizes that are too close together (14px, 15px, 16px, 18px...). This creates muddy hierarchy.
+
+**Use fewer sizes with more contrast.** A 5-size system covers most needs:
+
+| Role | Typical Ratio | Use Case |
+|------|---------------|----------|
+| xs | 0.75rem | Captions, legal |
+| sm | 0.875rem | Secondary UI, metadata |
+| base | 1rem | Body text |
+| lg | 1.25-1.5rem | Subheadings, lead text |
+| xl+ | 2-4rem | Headlines, hero text |
+
+Popular ratios: 1.25 (major third), 1.333 (perfect fourth), 1.5 (perfect fifth). Pick one and commit.
+
+### Readability & Measure
+
+Use `ch` units for character-based measure (`max-width: 65ch`). Line-height scales inversely with line length—narrow columns need tighter leading, wide columns need more.
+
+**Non-obvious**: Increase line-height for light text on dark backgrounds. The perceived weight is lighter, so text needs more breathing room. Add 0.05-0.1 to your normal line-height.
+
+## Font Selection & Pairing
+
+### Choosing Distinctive Fonts
+
+**Avoid the invisible defaults**: Inter, Roboto, Open Sans, Lato, Montserrat. These are everywhere, making your design feel generic. They're fine for documentation or tools where personality isn't the goal—but if you want distinctive design, look elsewhere.
+
+**Better Google Fonts alternatives**:
+- Instead of Inter → **Instrument Sans**, **Plus Jakarta Sans**, **Outfit**
+- Instead of Roboto → **Onest**, **Figtree**, **Urbanist**
+- Instead of Open Sans → **Source Sans 3**, **Nunito Sans**, **DM Sans**
+- For editorial/premium feel → **Fraunces**, **Newsreader**, **Lora**
+
+**System fonts are underrated**: `-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", system-ui` looks native, loads instantly, and is highly readable. Consider this for apps where performance > personality.
+
+### Pairing Principles
+
+**The non-obvious truth**: You often don't need a second font. One well-chosen font family in multiple weights creates cleaner hierarchy than two competing typefaces. Only add a second font when you need genuine contrast (e.g., display headlines + body serif).
+
+When pairing, contrast on multiple axes:
+- Serif + Sans (structure contrast)
+- Geometric + Humanist (personality contrast)
+- Condensed display + Wide body (proportion contrast)
+
+**Never pair fonts that are similar but not identical** (e.g., two geometric sans-serifs). They create visual tension without clear hierarchy.
+
+### Web Font Loading
+
+The layout shift problem: fonts load late, text reflows, and users see content jump. Here's the fix:
+
+```css
+/* 1. Use font-display: swap for visibility */
+@font-face {
+  font-family: 'CustomFont';
+  src: url('font.woff2') format('woff2');
+  font-display: swap;
+}
+
+/* 2. Match fallback metrics to minimize shift */
+@font-face {
+  font-family: 'CustomFont-Fallback';
+  src: local('Arial');
+  size-adjust: 105%;        /* Scale to match x-height */
+  ascent-override: 90%;     /* Match ascender height */
+  descent-override: 20%;    /* Match descender depth */
+  line-gap-override: 10%;   /* Match line spacing */
+}
+
+body {
+  font-family: 'CustomFont', 'CustomFont-Fallback', sans-serif;
+}
+```
+
+Tools like [Fontaine](https://github.com/unjs/fontaine) calculate these overrides automatically.
+
+## Modern Web Typography
+
+### Fluid Type
+
+Fluid typography via `clamp(min, preferred, max)` scales text smoothly with the viewport. The middle value (e.g., `5vw + 1rem`) controls scaling rate—higher vw = faster scaling. Add a rem offset so it doesn't collapse to 0 on small screens.
+
+**Use fluid type for**: Headings and display text on marketing/content pages where text dominates the layout and needs to breathe across viewport sizes.
+
+**Use fixed `rem` scales for**: App UIs, dashboards, and data-dense interfaces. No major app design system (Material, Polaris, Primer, Carbon) uses fluid type in product UI — fixed scales with optional breakpoint adjustments give the spatial predictability that container-based layouts need. Body text should also be fixed even on marketing pages, since the size difference across viewports is too small to warrant it.
+
+### OpenType Features
+
+Most developers don't know these exist. Use them for polish:
+
+```css
+/* Tabular numbers for data alignment */
+.data-table { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; }
+
+/* Proper fractions */
+.recipe-amount { font-variant-numeric: diagonal-fractions; }
+
+/* Small caps for abbreviations */
+abbr { font-variant-caps: all-small-caps; }
+
+/* Disable ligatures in code */
+code { font-variant-ligatures: none; }
+
+/* Enable kerning (usually on by default, but be explicit) */
+body { font-kerning: normal; }
+```
+
+Check what features your font supports at [Wakamai Fondue](https://wakamaifondue.com/).
+
+## Typography System Architecture
+
+Name tokens semantically (`--text-body`, `--text-heading`), not by value (`--font-size-16`). Include font stacks, size scale, weights, line-heights, and letter-spacing in your token system.
+
+## Accessibility Considerations
+
+Beyond contrast ratios (which are well-documented), consider:
+
+- **Never disable zoom**: `user-scalable=no` breaks accessibility. If your layout breaks at 200% zoom, fix the layout.
+- **Use rem/em for font sizes**: This respects user browser settings. Never `px` for body text.
+- **Minimum 16px body text**: Smaller than this strains eyes and fails WCAG on mobile.
+- **Adequate touch targets**: Text links need padding or line-height that creates 44px+ tap targets.
+
+---
+
+**Avoid**: More than 2-3 font families per project. Skipping fallback font definitions. Ignoring font loading performance (FOUT/FOIT). Using decorative fonts for body text.

+# UX Writing
+
+## The Button Label Problem
+
+**Never use "OK", "Submit", or "Yes/No".** These are lazy and ambiguous. Use specific verb + object patterns:
+
+| Bad | Good | Why |
+|-----|------|-----|
+| OK | Save changes | Says what will happen |
+| Submit | Create account | Outcome-focused |
+| Yes | Delete message | Confirms the action |
+| Cancel | Keep editing | Clarifies what "cancel" means |
+| Click here | Download PDF | Describes the destination |
+
+**For destructive actions**, name the destruction:
+- "Delete" not "Remove" (delete is permanent, remove implies recoverable)
+- "Delete 5 items" not "Delete selected" (show the count)
+
+## Error Messages: The Formula
+
+Every error message should answer: (1) What happened? (2) Why? (3) How to fix it? Example: "Email address isn't valid. Please include an @ symbol." not "Invalid input".
+
+### Error Message Templates
+
+| Situation | Template |
+|-----------|----------|
+| **Format error** | "[Field] needs to be [format]. Example: [example]" |
+| **Missing required** | "Please enter [what's missing]" |
+| **Permission denied** | "You don't have access to [thing]. [What to do instead]" |
+| **Network error** | "We couldn't reach [thing]. Check your connection and [action]." |
+| **Server error** | "Something went wrong on our end. We're looking into it. [Alternative action]" |
+
+### Don't Blame the User
+
+Reframe errors: "Please enter a date in MM/DD/YYYY format" not "You entered an invalid date".
+
+## Empty States Are Opportunities
+
+Empty states are onboarding moments: (1) Acknowledge briefly, (2) Explain the value of filling it, (3) Provide a clear action. "No projects yet. Create your first one to get started." not just "No items".
+
+## Voice vs Tone
+
+**Voice** is your brand's personality—consistent everywhere.
+**Tone** adapts to the moment.
+
+| Moment | Tone Shift |
+|--------|------------|
+| Success | Celebratory, brief: "Done! Your changes are live." |
+| Error | Empathetic, helpful: "That didn't work. Here's what to try..." |
+| Loading | Reassuring: "Saving your work..." |
+| Destructive confirm | Serious, clear: "Delete this project? This can't be undone." |
+
+**Never use humor for errors.** Users are already frustrated. Be helpful, not cute.
+
+## Writing for Accessibility
+
+**Link text** must have standalone meaning—"View pricing plans" not "Click here". **Alt text** describes information, not the image—"Revenue increased 40% in Q4" not "Chart". Use `alt=""` for decorative images. **Icon buttons** need `aria-label` for screen reader context.
+
+## Writing for Translation
+
+### Plan for Expansion
+
+German text is ~30% longer than English. Allocate space:
+
+| Language | Expansion |
+|----------|-----------|
+| German | +30% |
+| French | +20% |
+| Finnish | +30-40% |
+| Chinese | -30% (fewer chars, but same width) |
+
+### Translation-Friendly Patterns
+
+Keep numbers separate ("New messages: 3" not "You have 3 new messages"). Use full sentences as single strings (word order varies by language). Avoid abbreviations ("5 minutes ago" not "5 mins ago"). Give translators context about where strings appear.
+
+## Consistency: The Terminology Problem
+
+Pick one term and stick with it:
+
+| Inconsistent | Consistent |
+|--------------|------------|
+| Delete / Remove / Trash | Delete |
+| Settings / Preferences / Options | Settings |
+| Sign in / Log in / Enter | Sign in |
+| Create / Add / New | Create |
+
+Build a terminology glossary and enforce it. Variety creates confusion.
+
+## Avoid Redundant Copy
+
+If the heading explains it, the intro is redundant. If the button is clear, don't explain it again. Say it once, say it well.
+
+## Loading States
+
+Be specific: "Saving your draft..." not "Loading...". For long waits, set expectations ("This usually takes 30 seconds") or show progress.
+
+## Confirmation Dialogs: Use Sparingly
+
+Most confirmation dialogs are design failures—consider undo instead. When you must confirm: name the action, explain consequences, use specific button labels ("Delete project" / "Keep project", not "Yes" / "No").
+
+## Form Instructions
+
+Show format with placeholders, not instructions. For non-obvious fields, explain why you're asking.
+
+---
+
+**Avoid**: Jargon without explanation. Blaming users ("You made an error" → "This field is required"). Vague errors ("Something went wrong"). Varying terminology for variety. Humor for errors.
