Typography Guidelines

Juana + Inter type scale and usage rules for Cynosure Lutronic templates.

Typography Guidelines

The system uses two families from nextgen/tokens/tailwind.css:

RoleFaceUtility
Headings / display / quotesJuana (serif)font-heading (default on h1h6)
Body / UI / eyebrows / Inter alt headingsInter (sans)font-body (default on body)

Scale (use token utilities)

Display / headings (Juana): text-display, text-display-2, text-h1text-h6

Body (Inter): text-body-1text-body-7

Supporting: text-caption-1, text-label-m, text-label-s, text-button-l, text-button-s

Eyebrows (Inter + uppercase in templates): text-eyebrow-3tablet:text-eyebrow-2desktop:text-eyebrow-1

Quotes (Juana italic in templates): text-quote-1, text-quote-2

Do not use raw Tailwind display sizes (text-3xl, text-4xl) on marketing headings when a text-h* / text-display* step exists.

Section header pattern

Reuse this structure rather than inventing new hierarchy:

  • Wrapper: <header class="flex flex-col gap-3">
  • Eyebrow: text-eyebrow-3 font-medium text-text-accent tablet:text-eyebrow-2 desktop:text-eyebrow-1
  • Headline (<h2>): text-h5 tablet:text-h4 desktop:text-h3 (step through tablet:)

Inter as heading

When a design uses Inter on a heading size, add font-body on the heading. That utility remaps letter-spacing to the Inter heading track automatically.

Rules

  1. Don’t introduce third-party fonts without brand approval.
  2. Don’t re-add font-body on plain body copy — body already sets it.
  3. Prefer semantic text colors (text-text-primary, text-text-secondary, …).
  4. Keep line length comfortable for long body (~50–75 characters where practical).
  5. Use real heading tags (h1h6) for hierarchy; style with tokens, don’t fake headings with oversized paragraphs.
  6. Letter-spacing is owned by the tokens — don’t add one-off tracking-* utilities.

Accessibility

  • Maintain WCAG contrast for text on its background.
  • Don’t set important copy as an image of text.
  • Don’t rely on weight or color alone to convey meaning.
