UXD - Design System Updates: Type Settings

[annaseulgi]

We need to update type settings in the existing design system due to inconsistencies in type weight, size, and typefaces.
This is not an urgent matter and does not need to be implemented into V1.2. However, it should be incorporated in later iterations of the site.

• Review the existing type settings
• Iterate
• Wait for design team review, feedback, and/or approval
• Type settings may be updated to reflect new iterations

Resource: Figma

Updated ETA: 1-2 weeks
Progress: not sure. Picking back where I left off from previous iterations.
Availability: Mon - Thurs 2PM - 5PM PST

@Joy-Truex I'm going to kick this ticket back to New Issue Approval. We should retrofit it with the proper design template instructions, OR we should try to enumerate the "inconsistencies in type weight, size, and typefaces". This ticket highlights a valid problem, but it doesn't satisfy ticket quality IMO.

I agree. I will review and update by next GM. ETA Wednesday 2/19

Summary of discussion:

• audit/verify type settings (on figma + on github site)
  • start with the handoff page
• general informal guide or examples of when to use what
• potentially research and recommend if current type is sufficient or should be updated
