Typography test page
This is a draft specimen post so we can judge the typesetting before any real writing ships. It never appears on the live site.
The measure is capped at 42rem, roughly sixty-six characters per line, which is squarely inside the range book designers have used for centuries. Line height is 1.6. The body face is Charter, falling back through Cambria to Georgia, whichever the reader's system has.
A second-level heading
Text can be bold or italic, and it can carry inline code and links to elsewhere. Here is a list:
- The first item in the list
- A second item, slightly longer, to see how wrapping behaves when a line runs past the measure
- A third
- Numbered lists too
- With proper hanging alignment
A blockquote for quoted material. It sits slightly muted with a rule on the left, and it should read as an aside rather than a shout.
Code
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}`;
}And a horizontal rule above this closing paragraph, which exists only to prove the spacing after a rule is right.
