Hierarchy
Hierarchy is a reading contract
- A screen needs a deliberate reading order.
- Too many weights and sizes create noise.
- A small scale often creates stronger hierarchy than many one-off styles.
Noisy type
Several text sizes, weights, and colors compete for attention.
- No clear first read
- Weak labels
- Harder scanning
System type
A small set of roles makes the screen easier to parse.
- Clear title
- Readable body
- Consistent labels
