Typography page on Pajamas needs update
Problem
As we're migrating everything to Figma, some of the Pajamas documentation could use an update. Particularly the Typography page. https://design.gitlab.com/product-foundations/typography
As well, the implementation in Figma is confusing. There are too many groups and sub groups of typography choices. They are disconnected from associated screen sizes.
Solution
The page needs explanation of when to use different h# and offer font weight/padding specs.
In Figma, the styles should be grouped, this will require making some duplicates, but at least the group will be consistent.
Example(s)
Figma problem:
4 different versions of H1 | Organize the h# into their respective group |
---|---|
