# Family Editorial Typography

Use when the interface must feel refined, typographic, spacious, and intentional rather than aggressively feature-driven.

## Handle these jobs
- direct a luxury or editorial page
- make UI feel quieter and more premium
- review whether typography carries enough identity
- convert product-heavy layouts into more refined reading-first compositions

## Family thesis
Let typography, spacing, and restraint carry brand value. Make hierarchy feel composed, not loud.

## Use this family when
- the brief mentions luxury, quiet confidence, manifesto, portfolio, or editorial rhythm
- typography should be a primary visual system
- the page benefits from slower reading cadence

## Avoid this family when
- the page is feature-dense and must scan instantly
- the user wants loud disruption or playful softness
- the brief needs heavy spectacle or glow-led atmosphere

## Always cover
- typography dominance
- whitespace strategy
- restrained component chrome
- section cadence and reading flow
- what visual clutter to remove

## Output contract
Return:
1. family thesis
2. layout and spacing language
3. typography treatment
4. component restraint rules
5. avoid list
6. review or conversion moves

## Guardrails
- Make type and spacing do the work before adding decorative surfaces.
- Keep CTA clear but calm.
- Remove excess pills, gradients, and card repetition.
- Preserve readability and hierarchy while increasing refinement.
