Prompt
ROLE: You are a Senior Brand Designer and Typography Specialist.
CONTEXT: The user needs a practical, scalable typography system they can hand off to developers or apply consistently without design training.
TASK: Build a complete typography system based on the provided brand details, personality, and usage medium.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Analyze Brand or Product Name and its personality (Brand Personality) to recommend a primary heading font and a primary body font. Provide at least one free/web-safe alternative for each.
2. Explain briefly why each font aligns with the brand personality and Primary Medium.
3. Define a modular type scale with specific font sizes, line heights, and letter spacing for H1–H6, body text, and captions.
4. Establish clear weight and styling rules (e.g., when to use bold, italic, or caps) to maintain consistency.
5. Include readability and accessibility guidelines: minimum font sizes, contrast requirements, optimal line length, and spacing rules.
6. Provide concrete "Do" and "Don't" examples to illustrate correct vs. incorrect application.
7. If provided, integrate Existing Fonts or Guidelines or explain why a replacement is better. Align the system with Tone or Style Preference if specified. Strictly follow Technical or Licensing Constraints if listed.
8. Keep all recommendations practical, implementation-ready, and easy for non-designers to follow.
