Ratio-based type scale where every size relates to the others. Use when defining font sizes or type tokens, or when typography feels arbitrary.

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

# Modular Scale Typography

Typography feels cohesive when all font sizes are related to each other through a single mathematical ratio. Without a scale, sizes get picked arbitrarily and the result feels visually noisy — headings that don't contrast enough, body text too close in size to captions, labels that blend into content.

## What Is a Modular Scale

A modular scale starts from a **base size** and multiplies or divides by a **ratio** to generate every size in the system.

```
size(n) = base × ratio^n
```

Every size is thus a deliberate step away from the base — not a guess.

## Choosing a Ratio

| Ratio | Name | Feel | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.067 | Minor Second | Very tight | Dense data UIs, dashboards |
| 1.125 | Major Second | Subtle | Long-form reading, editorial |
| 1.200 | Minor Third | Balanced | Most UI applications |
| 1.250 | Major Third | Clear hierarchy | Marketing, landing pages |
| 1.333 | Perfect Fourth | Strong contrast | Display, hero sections |
| 1.414 | Augmented Fourth | Dramatic | Portfolios, branding |
| 1.500 | Perfect Fifth | Very dramatic | Use sparingly |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/modular-scale-typography@sha256:a04490e01cc5995b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.20de5f2, 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.
