Ever spent hours meticulously setting up fluid typography scales in a design file, only to watch a build get pushed with random pixel values hardcoded into CSS?
Typography handoff is notoriously messy. Designers think in terms of optical hierarchy and fluid scaling across viewports, while developers are often left translating static artboards into responsive CSS clamp functions or custom utility classes. When there is no shared source of truth, typography drifts—line heights break, font weights get mismatched, and the layout loses its rhythm.
The real fix isn't writing longer documentation; it's locking down a unified token structure that both sides can consume natively.
How do you usually bridge the typography gap in your projects? Do you rely on pre-defined CSS custom properties exported directly from design tools, or do you map them out manually in your stylesheets during implementation?
