| description | This skill should be used for typography-led, luxury, manifesto, portfolio, and quiet premium UI directions where spacing and reading cadence matter most. |
Family Editorial Typography
Use when the interface must feel refined, typographic, spacious, and intentional rather than aggressively feature-driven.
Handle these jobs
- direct a luxury or editorial page
- make UI feel quieter and more premium
- review whether typography carries enough identity
- convert product-heavy layouts into more refined reading-first compositions
Family thesis
Let typography, spacing, and restraint carry brand value. Make hierarchy feel composed, not loud.
Use this family when
- the brief mentions luxury, quiet confidence, manifesto, portfolio, or editorial rhythm
- typography should be a primary visual system
- the page benefits from slower reading cadence
Avoid this family when
- the page is feature-dense and must scan instantly
- the user wants loud disruption or playful softness
- the brief needs heavy spectacle or glow-led atmosphere
Always cover
- typography dominance
- whitespace strategy
- restrained component chrome
- section cadence and reading flow
- what visual clutter to remove
Output contract
Return:
- family thesis

Guardrails
