[Example introduction] Typography is the invisible architecture of every great publication. When done well, readers never notice it — they simply read. When done poorly, even the best writing fails to land.
Why hierarchy matters
[Example text] A clear typographic hierarchy guides the eye through your content in the order you intend. Headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and body copy each play a distinct role.
The Swiss approach

Practical tips for web editorial
- Line length: Keep body copy between 60–75 characters per line for optimal readability.
- Line height: Use 1.6–1.8 for body text. Descenders like g, p, and y need room to breathe.
- Contrast: Ensure WCAG AA compliance in both light and dark modes.
