About
About Grade
Grade is a free, interactive web typography guide for developers. Seven lessons on measure, contrast, scale, leading, weight, spacing, and consistency with research-backed CSS defaults.
Grade teaches web typography fundamentals through long-form, interactive lessons. It is built for developers and designers who write CSS and want readable interfaces without a typography degree.
What Grade includes
- Seven sequential lessons, one readability variable each
- Interactive demos embedded in article prose
- Paste-ready CSS defaults at the end of every lesson
- WCAG contrast calculator in the contrast lesson
- Dark and light theme support
What Grade is not
Grade does not crawl, audit, or score live websites. It is not a font pairing tool or a history of type. It focuses on the CSS variables that affect readability on real web interfaces.
Creator
