Implementing Typography Settings

Exercise Overview – Adding a font size palette

Bosco uses a simple five-size typography scale that maps perfectly to WordPress’s t-shirt sizing interface. You’ll implement these exact sizes using modern WordPress typography tools.

The five sizes create a clean hierarchy that covers all typical content needs while keeping the design system simple and maintainable. This simplicity is a strength, not a limitation.

Since you have exactly five sizes, WordPress will display them using the visual t-shirt sizing interface (S, M, L, XL, XXL) rather than a dropdown, creating a better user experience.

This exercise shows how thoughtful restraint in design systems creates better outcomes than offering unlimited options.
