ux-typography

ux-typography is a skill for Claude Code from Uxcel-Lab/product-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,755 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for choosing fonts, font combinations, text sizes, spacing, alignment, and levels of emphasis in a product. Typography is the visual system that makes written content readable and gives it structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose typefaces, build a type scale, set heading and body styles, or improve readability in a product interface or other content.
Why use it?
It prevents text from being either bland or cluttered, while keeping hierarchy and readability tied to the product's audience and medium.

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

ux-typography 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 9d 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.

Typography Skill

How this skill behaves (read first)

This is a generative skill. Typography has two default failure modes: bland (pick one safe font, no real scale or hierarchy) and over-expressive (multiple display faces, many weights/colors/cases stacked → cluttered and illegible). So this skill gates:

  1. Establish brand personality, content types, and medium — these drive the expressive choices worth making.
  2. Apply the always-true core — legibility, a clear scale/hierarchy, and restraint hold for any product.
  3. Make the typeface/pairing/scale choices deliberately — surface them as gated decisions tied to brand, not defaults.

Then hand off to the audits: accessibility (size, contrast, spacing), aesthetics (hierarchy, balance).


Step 0 — Establish context before choosing type

  • Brand personality & expected aesthetics — what impression should it make, and what does the audience expect (a kids' app vs. a banking app demand opposite tone)?
  • Content types — what kinds of text exist (display, headings, body, captions, labels)? This sizes the hierarchy.
  • Medium — long-form reading vs. dense UI vs. marketing — changes the legibility/expressiveness balance.
  • Language direction — LTR vs. RTL (drives default alignment).

State assumptions if proceeding without answers.


The always-apply core (true for any typography)

Readability & legibility (body text)

  • Body ≥ 16px. Start the scale from body size (it occupies the most space), then size up/down.
  • Line length 50–75 characters. Longer is hard to track; too short forces choppy eye movement.
  • Line height ~150% of font size for body; larger sizes/widths need more.
  • Paragraph spacing ≥ 1.5× line spacing (WCAG); separate ideas into digestible blocks.
  • Left-align body text in LTR (right for RTL). Reserve center alignment for short elements (headlines, quotes, CTAs) — it slows reading and hurts users with cognitive/visual impairments.
  • Design for scannability — ~79% of users scan, ~3% read word-by-word; hierarchy + spacing make scanning work.
