# Typography Skill
## How this skill behaves (read first)
This is a **generative** skill. Typography has two default failure modes: **bland** (pick one safe font, no real scale or hierarchy) and **over-expressive** (multiple display faces, many weights/colors/cases stacked → cluttered and illegible). So this skill gates:
1. **Establish brand personality, content types, and medium** — these drive the *expressive* choices worth making.
2. **Apply the always-true core** — legibility, a clear scale/hierarchy, and restraint hold for any product.
3. **Make the typeface/pairing/scale choices deliberately** — surface them as gated decisions tied to brand, not defaults.
Then **hand off to the audits**: `accessibility` (size, contrast, spacing), `aesthetics` (hierarchy, balance).
