Typography
Type Scale
The typography scale is designed to work for GitHub’s product UI and marketing sites. Font sizes are designed to work in combination with line-height values so as to result in more sensible numbers wherever possible.
Font sizes are smaller on mobile and scale up at the md breakpoint to be larger on desktop.
