Text Usage p-text is used to specify paragraph styling Do: Use p-text for all running body copy, descriptions, and supporting text. Default to text-small for standard paragraphs; scale up for intros or short content blocks. Use text-xx-small for legal disclaimers or metadata. Maintain spacing and alignment using the fluid grid and responsive typography. Always use the predefined text styles to ensure readability and scalability. Don't: Don’t use p-text styles for section titles or visual emphasis—use p-heading or p-display. Don’t apply unapproved font sizes, weights, or custom spacing.
