### Typography API (deprecated)

The typography API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

### Example

```tsx
import { headline, body, textSans } from '@guardian/source-foundations';

const h1 = css`
${headline.large()};
`;

const p = css`
${body.medium()};
`;

const copyright = css`
${textSans.xsmall()};
`;
```

You can also use the [object style syntax](https://emotion.sh/docs/object-styles):

```tsx
import { headlineObjectStyles } from '@guardian/source-foundations';

const h1 = {
...headlineObjectStyles.large(),
};
```

### Where can I find The Guardian's fonts?

The canonical source of fonts is https://github.com/guardian/fonts

They should be loaded from the locations specified in [font-faces.css](https://github.com/guardian/fonts/blob/main/fonts/web/font-faces.css). This optimises for consistency and performance across The Guardian's digital products.

### API

Each font family has an associated import, exposing methods that return snippets
of CSS depending on the desired font size.

A range of font sizes are available for each font family. The `medium` font size
should be considered the default.

Pixel values are given below for ease of understanding. By default the
typography API assigns font size in rems.

#### Headline

```css
font-family: 'GH Guardian Headline, Guardian Egyptian Web, Georgia, serif';
```

<Canvas>
<Story name="headline (deprecated)">
<FontStylesRenderer fontName="headline" fontStyles={headlineObjectStyles} />
</Story>
</Canvas>

#### Line height

The default for headline is `tight`. This maps to `1.15 (115%)`.

<Canvas>
<Story name="headline line height (deprecated)">
<LineHeightRenderer getFontStyles={headlineObjectStyles.large} />
</Story>
</Canvas>

### Body

```css
font-family: 'GuardianTextEgyptian, Guardian Text Egyptian Web, Georgia, serif';
```

<Canvas>
<Story name="body {deprecated}">
<FontStylesRenderer fontName="body" fontStyles={bodyObjectStyles} />
</Story>
</Canvas>

##### Line height

The default for body is `loose`. This maps to `1.40 (140%)`.

This meets the [WCAG 2.1 AAA success criterion for visual presentation](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#visual-presentation).

<Canvas>
<Story name="body line height (deprecated)">
<LineHeightRenderer getFontStyles={bodyObjectStyles.small} />
</Story>
</Canvas>

#### Text sans

```css
font-family: 'GuardianTextSans, Guardian Text Sans Web, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif';
```

<Canvas>
<Story name="textSans (deprecated)">
<FontStylesRenderer fontName="textSans" fontStyles={textSansObjectStyles} />
</Story>
</Canvas>

##### Line height

The default for text-sans is `regular`. This maps to `1.3 (130%)`.

<Canvas>
<Story name="textSans line height (deprecated)">
<LineHeightRenderer getFontStyles={textSansObjectStyles.medium} />
</Story>
</Canvas>

#### Titlepiece

```css
font-family: 'GT Guardian Titlepiece, Georgia, serif';
```

<Canvas>
<Story name="titlepiece">
<FontStylesRenderer
fontName="titlepiece"
fontStyles={titlepieceObjectStyles}
/>
</Story>
</Canvas>

##### Line height

The default for titlepiece is `tight`. This maps to `1.15 (115%)`.

<Canvas>
<Story name="titlepiece line height (deprecated)">
<LineHeightRenderer getFontStyles={titlepieceObjectStyles.medium} />
</Story>
</Canvas>

#### Options

Each method may receive an `options` object. Missing options are merged with sensible defaults for each font family.

##### Line height

The available options for line height are documented in the table below.

<table>
<tr>
<th>Alias in Source</th>
<th>Line height</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>loose</td>
<td>140% (1.4)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>regular</td>
<td>130% (1.30)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>tight</td>
<td>115% (1.15)</td>
</tr>
</table>

We calculate the final line height based on the font size using the following formula:

```ts
// line-height is defined as a unitless value, so we multiply
// by the element's font-size in px to get the px value
const finalLineHeight = `${lineHeight * fontSizeInPx}px`;
```

And a worked example:

```ts
const lineHeight =
1.15 * // line-height: tight (unitless)
30; // font-size: small (px)

// lineHeight === 34.5px
```

##### Font weight

```tsx
headline.medium({ fontWeight: 'bold' });
```

<Canvas>
<Story name="font weight (deprecated)">
<FontWeightRenderer />
</Story>
</Canvas>

The default for body and textSans is `regular`. The `light` and `medium` font weights are not available for these fonts.

The default for headline is `medium`. The `regular` font-weight is not available for this font.

The default and only font-weight for titlepiece is `bold`.

##### Font style

```tsx
headline.medium({ fontStyle: 'italic' });
```

`normal` (default) is available for all fonts.

`italic` is available for the following fonts:

<Canvas>
<Story name="italics (deprecated)">
<ItalicsRenderer />
</Story>
</Canvas>

##### Unit

```tsx
headline.medium({ unit: 'px' });
```

Specifies units for the font-size and line-height values.

By default, font-size is expressed in `rem`, and line-height is expressed as a [unitless value](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/line-height#values).

You can override this behaviour by setting the `unit` option to `px`. As a result, both font-size and line-height will be expressed in `px` values.
