Few sizes, from one scale

Take font sizes from the type scale; use at most four sizes in one section.

Draft — not yet reviewed by a maintainer

Why it matters

Hierarchy reads clearly when each size step means something. One-off sizes blur the steps and drift apart between components.

The limit of four sizes per section is a curator choice, not a number from design.md §5, which defines the scale but sets no count. A maintainer should confirm or change it when signing this rule.

How to check it

List computed font sizes per section at 1440 and 390: all on the scale, four at most.

The default it guards against

Arbitrary values such as text-[15px] and text-[13.5px] chosen per component, with five or six sizes competing in one card.
