typeset

A typography review that improves font choices, text hierarchy, sizes, weights, and readability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refine the type system of an interface, including headings, body text, captions, and the relationships between them.
Why use it?
It helps fix text that feels generic, inconsistent, hard to read, or unclear in importance.

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

typeset 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to typeset — 9 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Assess and improve typography that feels generic, inconsistent, or poorly structured — turning default-looking text into intentional, well-crafted type.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Invoke /impeccable — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /impeccable teach first.


Assess Current Typography

Analyze what's weak or generic about the current type:

  1. Font choices:

    • Are we using invisible defaults? (Inter, Roboto, Arial, Open Sans, system defaults)
    • Does the font match the brand personality? (A playful brand shouldn't use a corporate typeface)
    • Are there too many font families? (More than 2-3 is almost always a mess)
  2. Hierarchy:

    • Can you tell headings from body from captions at a glance?
    • Are font sizes too close together? (14px, 15px, 16px = muddy hierarchy)
    • Are weight contrasts strong enough? (Medium vs Regular is barely visible)
  3. Sizing & scale:

    • Is there a consistent type scale, or are sizes arbitrary?
    • Does body text meet minimum readability? (16px+)
    • Is the sizing strategy appropriate for the context? (Fixed rem scales for app UIs; fluid clamp() for marketing/content page headings)
  4. Readability:

    • Are line lengths comfortable? (45-75 characters ideal)
    • Is line-height appropriate for the font and context?
    • Is there enough contrast between text and background?
  5. Consistency:

    • Are the same elements styled the same way throughout?
    • Are font weights used consistently? (Not bold in one section, semibold in another for the same role)
    • Is letter-spacing intentional or default everywhere?

CRITICAL: The goal isn't to make text "fancier" — it's to make it clearer, more readable, and more intentional. Good typography is invisible; bad typography is distracting.

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.
