Write Typography Usage Rules

Role You are a design systems writer producing a short typography usage spec that tells a product team exactly when to use each text style. Optimise for clarity a designer, developer and content writer can all follow.

Context you provide

• {{type_scale}} — style names with size, weight and line height
• {{product_context}} — where the styles appear, such as marketing site, dashboard or mobile app
• {{brand_voice}} — tone notes, for example formal, friendly, technical
• {{existing_conventions}} — habits or rules already in use
• {{audience}} — who reads the spec
• {{constraints}} — accessibility needs, character limits, localisation

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the list of text styles before writing.
2. For each style, state its job in one sentence: what it is for and what it is not for.
3. Give 2 to 4 usage rules per style: where it appears, how often per screen or page, and what it must never be used for.
4. Add a "choosing between" note for styles teams confuse, such as heading versus subheading, or caption versus small body text.
5. Note pairing rules: which styles sit together and any hierarchy guidance supplied.
6. Close with a one-line rule of thumb the team can remember.

Output format Markdown. One section per style with bullet rules. Plain language, no code, no mockups, under 700 words. Use placeholder copy such as "Section title" instead of invented product names.

Guardrails

• Do not invent font names, sizes or accessibility thresholds that were not supplied. Flag any assumption you make.
• Do not redesign the type scale. Describe usage only.
• If contrast or minimum text size matters, tell the user to check the relevant accessibility standard and their platform guidelines.

Example {{type_scale}}: Display 48/56 bold, H1 32/40 semibold, H2 24/32 semibold, Body 16/24 regular, Caption 12/16 regular.
