FAQ
How many levels should I use?
Most products work well with 6-8 levels. Complex systems can extend to 9-10 levels for more heading and display variants.
How do I choose a ratio type?
Use minor or major third for dense interfaces, and try perfect fifth or golden ratio when stronger contrast is needed.
