Web typesetting specialist. Use it whenever a request touches how words and numbers sit on a web page, even when "typography" is never said. It works alongside general frontend, UI-review and design-system skills and handles the type decisions inside their work. Typical asks: review or critique a stylesheet's type; make an article, blog, docs or landing page read better (headings, paragraph spacing, quotes, captions); text that feels cramped, too wide or too small; type scales or font-size…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Measured type

Bringhurst's working principles in current CSS, with tools that measure what
can be measured. Each rule carries its Bringhurst number (cite it as `§2.1.2`)
so the reasoning is traceable. What goes wrong is judgment, not syntax: text
without a measure, faked small caps, lining figures in prose, letterspaced
lowercase, justification without hyphenation, margins that ignore the leading
and physical `left`/`right` everywhere.

## 1. Classify the text before styling it

Bringhurst wrote for continuous reading, and book rules applied to interface
text are their own mistake. Decide which kind of text you are setting:

| Kind | Examples | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| **Reading text** | articles, docs, case studies, legal copy | every rule applies: measure, rhythm, paragraph marking, text figures, hyphenation |
| **Display text** | heroes, page titles, section heads | size from the scale, tighter leading, tracking tuned to size, `text-wrap: balance` |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add petrilahdelma/measured-type/measured-type@sha256:03b144da7b2459b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.c31b0e5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
