Jan 1, 2025Delivered typography and layout standardization across the usagov-usagov-2021 site, consolidating font sizes and headings across core components (home, benefit finder, benefits search, directory headings, and footer) to improve visual hierarchy, readability, and accessibility. Implemented a unified button styling system (usagov-button), deprecated legacy button variants (usa-button--secondary), and updated button classes across JavaScript and Twig templates; reverted CKEditor button styling changes due to content editing issues to preserve content integrity. The work included iterative feedback rounds (weeks 1 and 2) that refined typography and layout, including tightening Benefits Search H2 sizing to 'lg' for better emphasis.
