What is typographic contrast?

Typographic contrast helps users scan and understand content by varying text:

  • Size: Big headings, smaller body text.

  • Weight: Bold for emphasis, regular for body.

  • Style: Use italics or caps sparingly for variation.

Too little contrast = everything looks the same. Too much = visual chaos. Balance is key.
