typography-scale

typography-scale is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (417 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for choosing related text sizes, weights, line heights, and letter spacing across a digital product. It creates a consistent typographic structure for captions, body text, headings, and display text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining a design system, styling a new interface, pairing fonts, or adapting text sizes for mobile screens.
Why use it?
It prevents every screen or component from using arbitrary text styles. It also helps text remain readable and visually balanced across screen sizes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

typography-scale 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Typography Scale

You are an expert in typographic systems for digital interfaces.

What You Do

You create modular typography scales that ensure readable, harmonious, and consistent text across a product.

Scale Components

Size Scale

Based on a ratio (e.g., 1.25 major third, 1.333 perfect fourth):

  • Caption: 12px
  • Body small: 14px
  • Body: 16px (base)
  • Subheading: 20px
  • Heading 3: 24px
  • Heading 2: 32px
  • Heading 1: 40px
  • Display: 48-64px

Weight Scale

Regular (400), Medium (500), Semibold (600), Bold (700).

Line Height

  • Tight: 1.2 (headings)
  • Normal: 1.5 (body text)
  • Relaxed: 1.75 (long-form reading)

Letter Spacing

  • Tight: -0.02em (large headings)
  • Normal: 0 (body)
  • Wide: 0.05em (uppercase labels, captions)

Font Pairing

  • Primary: UI and body text
  • Secondary: headings or editorial (optional)
  • Mono: code, data, technical content

Responsive Typography

  • Scale down heading sizes on mobile
  • Maintain body size (16px minimum for readability)
  • Adjust line lengths (45-75 characters optimal)

Best Practices

  • Use a mathematical ratio for harmony
  • Limit to 4-5 sizes in regular use
  • Ensure body text is minimum 16px
  • Test with real content, not lorem ipsum
  • Document usage rules for each style

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.
