-## 1. Modular Scale Principles
-
-### What is a Modular Scale?
-
-```
-A mathematical relationship between font sizes:
-├── Pick a BASE size (usually body text)
-├── Pick a RATIO (multiplier)
-└── Generate all sizes using: base × ratio^n
-```
-
-### Common Ratios and When to Use
-
-| Ratio | Value | Feeling | Best For |
-|-------|-------|---------|----------|
-| Minor Second | 1.067 | Very subtle | Dense UI, small screens |
-| Major Second | 1.125 | Subtle | Compact interfaces |
-| Minor Third | 1.2 | Comfortable | Mobile apps, cards |
-| Major Third | 1.25 | Balanced | General web (most common) |
-| Perfect Fourth | 1.333 | Noticeable | Editorial, blogs |
-| Perfect Fifth | 1.5 | Dramatic | Headlines, marketing |
-| Golden Ratio | 1.618 | Maximum impact | Hero sections, display |
-
-### Generate Your Scale
-
-```
-Given: base = YOUR_BASE_SIZE, ratio = YOUR_RATIO
-
-Scale:
-├── xs:  base ÷ ratio²
-├── sm:  base ÷ ratio
-├── base: YOUR_BASE_SIZE
-├── lg:  base × ratio
-├── xl:  base × ratio²
-├── 2xl: base × ratio³
-├── 3xl: base × ratio⁴
-└── ... continue as needed
-```
-
-### Choosing Base Size
-
-| Context | Base Size Range | Why |
-|---------|-----------------|-----|
-| Mobile-first | 16-18px | Readability on small screens |
-| Desktop app | 14-16px | Information density |
-| Editorial | 18-21px | Long-form reading comfort |
-| Accessibility focus | 18px+ | Easier to read |

-## 2. Font Pairing Principles
-
-### What Makes Fonts Work Together
-
-```
-Contrast + Harmony:
-├── Different ENOUGH to create hierarchy
-├── Similar ENOUGH to feel cohesive
-└── Usually: serif + sans, or display + neutral
-```
-
-### Pairing Strategies
-
-| Strategy | How | Result |
-|----------|-----|--------|
-| **Contrast** | Serif heading + Sans body | Classic, editorial feel |
-| **Same Family** | One variable font, different weights | Cohesive, modern |
-| **Same Designer** | Fonts by same foundry | Often harmonious proportions |
-| **Era Match** | Fonts from same time period | Historical consistency |
-
-### What to Look For
-
-```
-When pairing, compare:
-├── x-height (height of lowercase letters)
-├── Letter width (narrow vs wide)
-├── Stroke contrast (thin/thick variation)
-└── Overall mood (formal vs casual)
-```
-
-### Safe Pairing Patterns
-
-| Heading Style | Body Style | Mood |
-|---------------|------------|------|
-| Geometric sans | Humanist sans | Modern, friendly |
-| Display serif | Clean sans | Editorial, sophisticated |
-| Neutral sans | Same sans | Minimal, tech |
-| Bold geometric | Light geometric | Contemporary |
-
-### Avoid
-
-- ❌ Two decorative fonts together
-- ❌ Similar fonts that conflict
-- ❌ More than 2-3 font families
-- ❌ Fonts with very different x-heights
-
----
-
-## 3. Line Height Principles
-
-### The Relationship
-
-```
-Line height depends on:
-├── Font size (larger text = less line height needed)
-├── Line length (longer lines = more line height)
-├── Font design (some fonts need more space)
-└── Content type (headings vs body)
-```
-
-### Guidelines by Context
-
-| Content Type | Line Height Range | Why |
-|--------------|-------------------|-----|
-| **Headings** | 1.1 - 1.3 | Short lines, want compact |
-| **Body text** | 1.4 - 1.6 | Comfortable reading |
-| **Long-form** | 1.6 - 1.8 | Maximum readability |
-| **UI elements** | 1.2 - 1.4 | Space efficiency |
-
-### Adjustment Factors
-
-- **Longer line length** → Increase line height
-- **Larger font size** → Decrease line height ratio
-- **All caps** → May need more line height
-- **Tight tracking** → May need more line height
-
----
-
-## 4. Line Length Principles
-
-### Optimal Reading Width
-
-```
-The sweet spot: 45-75 characters per line
-├── < 45: Too choppy, breaks flow
-├── 45-75: Comfortable reading
-├── > 75: Eye tracking strain
-```
-
-### How to Measure
-
-```css
-/* Character-based (recommended) */
-max-width: 65ch; /* ch = width of "0" character */
-
-/* This adapts to font size automatically */
-```
-
-### Context Adjustments
-
-| Context | Character Range |
-|---------|-----------------|
-| Desktop article | 60-75 characters |
-| Mobile | 35-50 characters |
-| Sidebar text | 30-45 characters |
-| Wide monitors | Still cap at ~75ch |
-

-## 5. Responsive Typography Principles
-
-### The Problem
-
-```
-Fixed sizes don't scale well:
-├── Desktop size too big on mobile
-├── Mobile size too small on desktop
-└── Breakpoint jumps feel jarring
-```
-
-### Fluid Typography (clamp)
-
-```css
-/* Syntax: clamp(MIN, PREFERRED, MAX) */
-font-size: clamp(
-  MINIMUM_SIZE,
-  FLUID_CALCULATION,
-  MAXIMUM_SIZE
-);
-
-/* FLUID_CALCULATION typically: 
-   base + viewport-relative-unit */
-```
-
-### Scaling Strategy
-
-| Element | Scaling Behavior |
-|---------|-----------------|
-| Body text | Slight scaling (1rem → 1.125rem) |
-| Subheadings | Moderate scaling |
-| Headings | More dramatic scaling |
-| Display text | Most dramatic scaling |
-
----
-
-## 6. Weight and Emphasis Principles
-
-### Semantic Weight Usage
-
-| Weight Range | Name | Use For |
-|--------------|------|---------|
-| 300-400 | Light/Normal | Body text, paragraphs |
-| 500 | Medium | Subtle emphasis |
-| 600 | Semibold | Subheadings, labels |
-| 700 | Bold | Headings, strong emphasis |
-| 800-900 | Heavy/Black | Display, hero text |
-
-### Creating Contrast
-
-```
-Good contrast = skip at least 2 weight levels
-├── 400 body + 700 heading = good
-├── 400 body + 500 emphasis = subtle
-├── 600 heading + 700 subheading = too similar
-```
-
-### Avoid
-
-- ❌ Too many weights (max 3-4 per page)
-- ❌ Adjacent weights for hierarchy (400/500)
-- ❌ Heavy weights for long text
-
----
-
-## 7. Letter Spacing (Tracking)
-
-### Principles
-
-```
-Large text (headings): tighter tracking
-├── Letters are big, gaps feel larger
-└── Slight negative tracking looks better
-
-Small text (body): normal or slightly wider
-├── Improves readability at small sizes
-└── Never negative for body text
-
-ALL CAPS: always wider tracking
-├── Uppercase lacks ascenders/descenders
-└── Needs more space to feel right
-```
-
-### Adjustment Guidelines
-
-| Context | Tracking Adjustment |
-|---------|---------------------|
-| Display/Hero | -2% to -4% |
-| Headings | -1% to -2% |
-| Body text | 0% (normal) |
-| Small text | +1% to +2% |
-| ALL CAPS | +5% to +10% |
-
----
-
-## 8. Hierarchy Principles
-
-### Visual Hierarchy Through Type
-
-```
-Ways to create hierarchy:
-├── SIZE (most obvious)
-├── WEIGHT (bold stands out)
-├── COLOR (contrast levels)
-├── SPACING (margins separate sections)
-└── POSITION (top = important)
-```
-
-### Typical Hierarchy
-
-| Level | Characteristics |
-|-------|-----------------|
-| Primary (H1) | Largest, boldest, most distinct |
-| Secondary (H2) | Noticeably smaller but still bold |
-| Tertiary (H3) | Medium size, may use weight only |
-| Body | Standard size and weight |
-| Caption/Meta | Smaller, often lighter color |
-
-### Testing Hierarchy
-
-Ask: "Can I tell what's most important at a glance?"
-
-If squinting at the page, the hierarchy should still be clear.
-

-
-## 9. Readability Psychology
-
-### F-Pattern Reading
-
-```
-Users scan in F-pattern:
-├── Across the top (first line)
-├── Down the left side
-├── Across again (subheading)
-└── Continue down left
-```
-
-**Implication**: Key info on left and in headings
-
-### Chunking for Comprehension
-
-- Short paragraphs (3-4 lines max)
-- Clear subheadings
-- Bullet points for lists
-- White space between sections
-
-### Cognitive Ease
-
-- Familiar fonts = easier reading
-- High contrast = less strain
-- Consistent patterns = predictable
-

-## 10. Typography Selection Checklist
-
-Before finalizing typography:
-
-- [ ] **Asked user for font preferences?**
-- [ ] **Considered brand/context?**
-- [ ] **Selected appropriate scale ratio?**
-- [ ] **Limited to 2-3 font families?**
-- [ ] **Tested readability at all sizes?**
-- [ ] **Checked line length (45-75ch)?**
-- [ ] **Verified contrast for accessibility?**
-- [ ] **Different from your last project?**
-
-### Anti-Patterns
-
-- ❌ Same fonts every project
-- ❌ Too many font families
-- ❌ Ignoring readability for style
-- ❌ Fixed sizes without responsiveness
-- ❌ Decorative fonts for body text
-
----
-
-> **Remember**: Typography is about communication clarity. Choose based on content needs and audience, not personal preference.
