Typography

Typography in bootstack is defined through font tokens rather than individual font selections.

Font tokens describe intent—such as body text or headings—while the framework handles platform-appropriate rendering.

Typography tokens

Common typography tokens include:

• body — standard UI text
• heading — section and view titles
• caption — secondary or supporting text
• monospace — code or aligned data

Themes determine the concrete font families and sizes for each token.

Modifiers

Typography tokens can be modified conceptually:

• weight (bold)
• style (italic)
• size adjustments

Modifiers express emphasis without breaking consistency.

Why tokens matter

Using typography tokens ensures:

• consistent text hierarchy
• predictable scaling across platforms
• centralized control
• accessibility-friendly defaults
