The guideline helps ensure that typography is used in such a way it is always in harmony with the overall visual design.
 
== Guidelines ==
[[File:VDGTypography.png]]
 
* While KDE Workspace users can alter the fonts used throughout the workspace and in applications, the visual design uses ''Oxygen'' as the reference typeface.
* Typography is treated like any other graphic element when considering [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Placement|spacing]] and [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Alignment| alignment]].
* The number of typeface variations (bold, italic, size, caps, color) are kept to about three in any single design.
* Use each typeface variant consistently. e.g. Titles or headings should share a similar typeface. Captions should all share a similar typeface.
* Multi-line blocks of text are either left or right aligned; center alignment for multi-line blocks of text is avoided.
