Designing with a Baseline Grid

Start with the paragraph

The most useful rhythm in a writing theme starts with body copy. Set the paragraph measure first, then let headings, metadata, and navigation orbit that cadence.

Keep decoration structural

Use rules, gutters, and spacing as decoration. The page should feel designed before it asks the reader to notice any visual flourish.

.section {
  padding-block: clamp(4.5rem, 8vw, 7.5rem);
}
