What happened

Need recommendations on font size and family. The SAM WDS does not specify one, should we use what's recommended by US WDS?

https://standards.usa.gov/typography/

What I expected

Compliance with SAM and/or US WDS

@jagannathch - Hey JC! Thanks for brining this up. A couple of things.

  1. We have specified one of the typography pairings from the USWDS: https://gsa.github.io/sam-web-design-standards/getting-started/visual-style/#typography - note: It appears the accordions from the USWDS have been changed and the current HTML pattern used in the SAMWDS does not allow you to expand the typography accordion. See #116
  2. If you believe there's a way to make this more obvious, please submit a pull request or make the suggestion.
  3. If you take a look at /src/stylesheets/core/_variables.scss you will see the font sizes and faces that get compiled into the final CSS.
