Good typography is mostly restraint. A sensible scale, comfortable spacing and enough contrast beat any clever effect. A label, a table cell, a marketing headline and an article paragraph should not share one set of rules. Apply these principles when building or reviewing anything with text in it.
Better Typography is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the accessibility sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/better-typography/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when picking or pairing typefaces, configuring variable fonts or OpenType features, setting up a type scale, checking heading hierarchy, styling text in components, truncating text, styling underlines, selection, placeholders or carets, or reviewing frontend code for typography. Triggers on typography, fonts, font formats, woff2, variable fonts, font-weight, opentype, font-feature-settings, letter-spacing, line-height, type scale, heading hierarchy, heading levels, tabular numbers, text-wrap, truncation, line clamp, underlines, text-decoration, text selection, iOS input zoom, font smoothing, text contrast, measure, line length, text-box, smart punctuation, drop cap.

It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 185,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
