June 2025 performance summary: Delivered a centralized, design-token-driven typography system across two Yale sites. In yalesites-org/component-library-twig, introduced a Unified Heading Typography System with a global headingTypography setting, a reusable heading mixin, and broad refactors to migrate components to the mixin; removed site-header font-pairing logic to guarantee consistent typography. Notable commits include: feat: ysp-884 add controller for heading typography in Storybook preview; feat: ysp-884 add mixin for dynamic heading typography based on font pairing; chore: ysp-884 refactor heading includes to use new heading mixin; fix(YSP-884): remove explicit medium weight so heading inherits default style; fix(YSP-884): remove font pairing logic from site header. Also added a fallback: YaleNew typography by default when the font-pairing attribute is missing (commit fix(YSP-884)). Enhanced image caption styling to adapt to themed backgrounds across sections, with corresponding SCSS updates and Storybook configuration changes (commit chore(YSP-948)). In yalesites-org/yalesites-project, added Font Preview Dark Mode Support, updating CSS so the font preview component renders with a dark background in dark themes (commit feat: ysp-884 adjusting preview for dark mode).
