Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00111 | $0.04243 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.02122 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00849 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00424 |
Grade A, and why
brand-typography-systems scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Brand Typography Systems & Strategic Type Selection
Quick reference for developing strategic brand typography systems grounded in personality, hierarchy, and practical application.
"Typography exists to honor content." — Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style
"Typography and design should enhance communication, not just look attractive." — Erik Spiekermann
"I can teach anyone good typography in two or three days. The craft is very simple, the rest is just practice." — Erik Spiekermann
Key Principles
- Start with personality — Typography selection flows FROM brand personality TO typeface choices. Never the reverse.
- Honor content — Beautiful type that doesn't serve content fails its purpose.
- Contrast through classification — Serif + sans-serif pairing creates natural hierarchy without conflict.
- Form follows function — Body text prioritizes legibility; display text can prioritize personality.
- Consistency builds recognition — Every touchpoint reinforces (or undermines) brand perception.
- Accessibility is non-negotiable — Design for the widest possible audience.
- Systems scale — Create hierarchies that work across all applications and contexts.
Core Frameworks
1. Brand-First Typography Selection Process
Typography selection must flow from brand strategy, not aesthetic preference.
The Process:
| Step | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Define Brand Personality | Identify 3-5 traits that define brand voice and image |
| 2 | Understand Target Audience | Demographics, preferences, industry expectations |
| 3 | Gather Inspiration | Analyze competitors, identify differentiation opportunities |
| 4 | Select and Pair Fonts | Create mockups across touchpoints (print, web, mobile) |
| 5 | Establish Hierarchy | Define primary, secondary, tertiary with clear purposes |
| 6 | Create Guidelines | Document everything with examples and specifications |
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

brand-typography-systems is a skill published in the GitHub repository mike-coulbourn/claude-vibes (39 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 4,243 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
