Advisory

Body Text

This system is designed for interface labels, status readouts, and display compositions. It does not define a body text style. Barlow Condensed is always uppercase and Share Tech Mono is reserved for technical data.

If your application requires paragraphs, pair DECKPLATE with a body typeface of your choice. Please note that the CLI installation method does not impose any font imports, so it is completely up to you to adhere to these recommendations.
