Magazine layout in Gelasio serif on a strict 8pt grid.

What it is

A design-system guideline skill for a modern editorial look: Gelasio serif for both body and display, Ubuntu Mono, near-black #111111 on white surfaces, and an 8pt baseline grid.

Magazine-inspired editorial layout with refined serif typography, structured grids, and elegant reading experiences.
From the upstream SKILL.md

Why it matters for design

  • Serif display and body from one family keeps long reading passages typographically consistent.
  • An 8pt baseline grid enforces vertical rhythm across headings, body copy, and spacing.
  • Accessibility bar includes reduced-motion support, 44px touch targets, and high-contrast handling.

What it covers

  • Style foundations
  • Accessibility
  • Guideline authoring workflow
  • Required output structure
  • Component rule expectations
  • Quality gates
