Typography settings with font family size weight transform and spacing controls

Typography section controls in your settings page.

Note: text color may appear in your adjacent controls/workflow, but core typography behavior is driven by the five fields above.

Typography Workflow

  1. Font Family: start with a clean readable font (Roboto/Open Sans/Lato are safe).
  2. Font Size: begin at Medium (14px), then bump to Large if text-heavy profile.
  3. Weight: keep Normal unless the chosen font looks too thin.
  4. Transform: keep None for body readability; use uppercase sparingly.
  5. Spacing: raise to 15px-20px if profile feels cramped.

Starter Recipes

Clean Modern

  • Font Family: Roboto / Open Sans / Lato
  • Size: Medium (14px) or Large (16px)
  • Weight: Normal
  • Transform: None
  • Spacing: 10px-15px

Bold Header Feel

  • Font Family: keep readable, avoid novelty body fonts
  • Size: Medium or Large
  • Weight: Bold (only if readability stays good)
  • Transform: Capitalize or None
  • Spacing: 15px-20px for calmer layout rhythm

Common Fixes

  • Feels cramped: increase Profile Spacing and/or Font Size one step.
  • Hard to read on mobile: keep weight at Normal, increase size to 16px.
  • Looks shouty: disable all-caps transform and drop font weight.
  • Looks plain: improve spacing first, then tune links/buttons in their own sections.
