Sans - Helvetica Mono - Roboto Mono

kingsleyzissou commented 6 years ago

Yeah I think we should have a .mono/.code class and I like robot mono I'm not too sure about Helvetica though.

We also need a serif font I reckon

kingsleyzissou commented 6 years ago

With regards to the colours - I think we should have 3 colours like you say.

But maybe some basic UI/UX colours for form feedback in inputs, notification, badges, etc. Thoughts?

dimitraz commented 6 years ago

@kingsleyzissou yep agree

milenazuccarelli commented 6 years ago

So the solution to our framework resulting outdated once any trend has passed is to offer multiple fonts, and have a class with the font name or type (.helvetica, or .serif, .mono)

Fonts I've picked:

Titles:

Krona One (much hip, many cool)
Montserrat

Body text:

Helvetica (sans-serif)
Times New Roman (serif) -> tbc

Other:

Space Mono (mono)

Although I've set categories (for titles and such) of course you will be able to use them interchangeably.

idk about using font classes if you wanted to customise the whole framework it seems redundant and not scaleable. I think a better solution would find a way to override the default theme with a custom theme

Circling back to this discussion, I'd like to pick out more timeless fonts. I'll source a few more and make a PR in the coming days
