Typography
Typography needs to offer a clear way to display text. It helps us create hierarchies, organize information, and guide our users through pages.
Typeface

Fallback font
If the font is not displayed in a browser, the fallback font is Calibri. Calibri is the default font used on the e-mails for technical reasons.

Type scale
Each theme uses a common library with defined text sizes and line height. As Proximus being the default theme, all usage documentation is writing with Proximus examples and can be apply to other themes. Refer to Text sizes to have all the details.
Alignment
The standard alignment is left. Only use right alignment if that's justified for a particular reason.
Typesetting
Typesetting controls the readability of a text with the size, style, and spacing of its type. It's a function of microtypography (how text is styled within a text block) and macrotypography (how content elements are arranged on the page). The more readable a text the more easily users can understand its content. Text with poor readability turns off readers and can make it challenging for them to stay focused.
Easy-to-read constitutes a great extra reading to write and produce content that is accessible for all.
