Using Presets in Breakdance

Method 1: Typography Dropdown

  1. Select a text element
  2. Open Style panel → Typography settings
  3. Choose a preset from the dropdown

Method 2: Custom CSS

.custom-heading {
  /* Match H2 preset */
  font-size: clamp(1.75rem, 1.5rem + 1.5vw, 2.25rem);
  line-height: 1.2;
  letter-spacing: -0.02em;
  font-weight: 700;
}

Why These Values?

Line Height

  • Headings (110-130%): Tighter for visual impact
  • Body (160%): Looser for readability

Letter Spacing

  • Large text: Negative spacing brings letters together for cohesive headlines
  • Body text: Default spacing for optimal reading

Usage Recommendations

ElementWhen to Use
H1Page titles, hero headlines
H2Major section headings
H3Subsections, feature titles
H4Card titles, minor sections
H5Sidebar headings, labels
H6Captions, meta information

Combining with Other Features

.section-title {
  /* Typography */
  font-size: clamp(1.75rem, 1.5rem + 1.5vw, 2.25rem);
  line-height: 1.2;
  letter-spacing: -0.02em;
  font-weight: 700;

  /* Color from palette */
  color: var(--primary-heading);

  /* Spacing */
  margin-bottom: var(--s4);
}

Best Practices

  • Semantic markup: One H1 per page, don’t skip levels
  • Trust preset sizes: Use H3 instead of overriding H2 size
  • Consistent application: All page titles = H1, section titles = H2
