Typography
Automatic Font Hierarchy System
Our MC Heading component automatically determines font sizes based on the heading tag (H1, H2, H3, etc.) you select. This ensures consistent typography hierarchy and eliminates confusion for content authors.
✨ Benefits for Content Authors
- • Simplified authoring - No more confusion about font sizes
- • Faster content creation - One less decision to make
- • Perfect semantics - Focus on content structure, not visual details
- • Always consistent - Design system compliance enforced automatically
🎯 System Benefits
- • Consistent typography - Enforces proper design system hierarchy
- • Responsive by default - All sizes automatically scale for mobile
- • Better accessibility - Proper heading structure for screen readers
- • SEO optimized - Semantic heading hierarchy improves rankings
How it works:
- 1. Choose heading tag (H1, H2, H3, etc.) based on content hierarchy
- 2. Add your content (title, heading, subheading)
- 3. Set alignment and text color if needed
- 4. Font size is automatically perfect! 🎉
H1 Display / XL Semibold 72px 110% LH
H2 Display / L Semibold 56px 120% LH
H3 Display / M Semibold 40px 130%LH
H4 Heading / L Semibold 32px 130% LH
H5 Heading / M Medium 24px 140%LH
H6 Heading / S Regular 20px 140%LH
Paragraph body / L Regular 18px 150%LH
Paragraph body / M Regular 16px 150%LH
Paragraph body / S Regular 14px 150%LH
CAPTION / XS SEMIBOLD 12PX 140%, 2PX LINE SPACING
Font Size Override Example
The heading component allows you to override the default font size while maintaining the semantic heading tag. This is useful for hero sections where you need an H1 tag for SEO but want H2 visual sizing.
H1 tag with H2 font size:
I'm an H1 tag but look like H2
H2 tag with H4 font size:
I'm an H2 tag but look like H4
List Styles
Checkmark List
A clean bullet list with checkmark icons, perfect for feature lists, benefits, and step-by-step processes.

<ul class="list-checkmark">
<li>End-to-end coverage into data, system, code and model responses</li>
<li>AI-powered monitors for faster data quality rules</li>
