Troubleshooting
Check behavior before surface.
- If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
- If interaction differs, preserve this contract: No component-specific keys.
- If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: Native text elements preserve the requested document hierarchy.
- If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.
Implementation decisions
When to use Typography
Use the typography primitives to preserve document structure while applying consistent visual rhythm. Choose heading levels from the page outline, not the desired size, and keep paragraphs, lists, quotations, and code semantically accurate. Confirm readable line length, text scaling, link distinction, and sufficient contrast across themes. Test long translations, bidirectional text, narrow screens, user font overrides, print, and 200 percent zoom.
