What it does

Typography First is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Web and App implementation guide for Typography First Design. Trigger when user wants text as the absolute main visual element, with minimal UI chroming.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Typography and Cross-platform mobile apps. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants text as the absolute main visual element
  • With minimal UI chroming

Example prompts

  • “/typography-first”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Hyper-Sized Typography: The main headline is so large it becomes an abstract graphic element.
  2. Minimal UI Chroming: Buttons are just text. Navigation is just text. No boxes, no backgrounds.
  3. Kinetic Typography: Text that moves, scrolls, or reacts to the user's cursor.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are css, swift, dart, javascript and kotlin).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Typography First loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Typography First Design

"The words are the interface. No distractions, just beautiful text."

When to Use

Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the design-it skill and is not meant to be triggered directly.

Core Principles

  1. Hyper-Sized Typography: The main headline is so large it becomes an abstract graphic element.
  2. Minimal UI Chroming: Buttons are just text. Navigation is just text. No boxes, no backgrounds.
  3. Kinetic Typography: Text that moves, scrolls, or reacts to the user's cursor.

Visual DNA

  • Colors: Extreme high contrast. Pure black and white, or a very dark background with a single neon accent color. Midnight Luxury works well.
  • Typography: Display fonts with extreme character. Try Oswald, Anton, or Bebas Neue for impact, or a massive serif.
  • Layout: Often centers the massive text perfectly in the viewport, cutting off at the edges.

Web Implementation

  • Rely on vw and vh units for font sizing so the text perfectly fills the screen.
  • CSS Example:
css
body {
  background-color: #0A0A0A;
  color: #F5F5F0;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  margin: 0;
}

.hero-type {
  font-family: 'Anton', sans-serif;
  font-size: 25vw; /* Fills the width of the screen */
  text-transform: uppercase;
  line-height: 0.8;
  white-space: nowrap;
  
  /* Outline effect */
  color: transparent;
  -webkit-text-stroke: 2px #F5F5F0;
  transition: color 0.3s;
}

.hero-type:hover {
  color: var(--cta-highlight);
  -webkit-text-stroke: 0;
}

.nav-text-btn {
  background: none;
  border: none;
  color: #F5F5F0;
  font-size: 2rem;
  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
  text-decoration: underline;
  text-underline-offset: 8px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

App Implementation

SwiftUI
swift
struct TypographyFirstView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            Color(hex: "0A0A0A").ignoresSafeArea()
            
            VStack {
                // Massive Typography Bleeding Off Edge
                Text("THE WORDS ARE THE INTERFACE")
                    .font(.custom("Anton", size: 200)) // Absurdly large
                    .foregroundColor(Color(hex: "F5F5F0"))
                    .lineLimit(1)
                    .fixedSize(horizontal: true, vertical: false) // Force no wrapping
                    .minimumScaleFactor(1.0) // Prevent auto-shrinking
                
                // Outlined variant
                Text("NO CHROMING")
                    .font(.custom("Anton", size: 150))
                    .foregroundColor(.clear)
                    .overlay(
                        Text("NO CHROMING")
                            .font(.custom("Anton", size: 150))
                            .foregroundColor(Color(hex: "0A0A0A"))
                            // Hack for text stroke in SwiftUI
                            .shadow(color: Color(hex: "F5F5F0"), radius: 1)
                    )
                    .lineLimit(1)
                    .fixedSize()
            }
            .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
            .padding(.leading, -20) // Intentionally cut off
        }
    }
}
  • Use .fixedSize(horizontal: true, vertical: false) and .lineLimit(1) to force massive fonts to bleed off the edge of the screen rather than wrapping into a paragraph.
  • Native text-stroke is difficult in SwiftUI; overlapping a masked text or using thin shadows is the common workaround.

Flutter
dart
class TypographyFirstScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      backgroundColor: const Color(0xFF0A0A0A),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
          children: [
            // Auto-scaling hero text
            FittedBox(
              fit: BoxFit.cover,
              child: Text(
                'THE WORDS ARE',
                style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Anton', color: const Color(0xFFF5F5F0), height: 0.8),
              ),
            ),
            
            // Outlined text
            FittedBox(
              fit: BoxFit.cover,
              child: Stack(
                children: [
                  // Outline
                  Text(
                    'THE INTERFACE',
                    style: TextStyle(
                      fontFamily: 'Anton', height: 0.8,
                      foreground: Paint()..style = PaintingStyle.stroke..strokeWidth = 2..color = const Color(0xFFF5F5F0),
                    ),
                  ),
                  // Solid fill (transparent)
                  const Text('THE INTERFACE', style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Anton', height: 0.8, color: Colors.transparent)),
                ],
              ),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
  • FittedBox with BoxFit.cover is your best friend here. It ensures the text takes up the maximum possible width/height regardless of the device screen size.
  • Flutter makes text outlines easy by using foreground: Paint()..style = PaintingStyle.stroke in the TextStyle.
React Native
jsx
const { width } = Dimensions.get('window');

const TypographyFirstScreen = () => {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#0A0A0A', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      
      {/* Massive Text */}
      <Text 
        numberOfLines={1} 
        style={{ fontFamily: 'Anton-Regular', fontSize: width * 0.4, color: '#F5F5F0', lineHeight: width * 0.35, marginLeft: -20 }}
      >
        WORDS ARE
      </Text>

      {/* Outlined Text (Not supported natively in standard React Native Text, requires SVG or shadows) */}
      <Text 
        numberOfLines={1} 
        style={{ 
          fontFamily: 'Anton-Regular', fontSize: width * 0.35, color: '#0A0A0A', lineHeight: width * 0.3,
          textShadowColor: '#F5F5F0', textShadowOffset: {width: -1, height: 1}, textShadowRadius: 1
        }}
      >
        INTERFACE
      </Text>

      {/* Typography Button */}
      <TouchableOpacity style={{ marginTop: 40, alignSelf: 'center' }}>
        <Text style={{ color: '#F5F5F0', fontSize: 24, textDecorationLine: 'underline' }}>
          Explore Now
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>

    </View>
  );
};
  • Rely on Dimensions.get('window').width to calculate extreme font sizes dynamically (e.g., fontSize: width * 0.4).
  • Use numberOfLines={1} and negative margins to allow the text to act as a graphic element bleeding off the screen.
Jetpack Compose
kotlin
@Composable
fun TypographyFirstScreen() {
    Column(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(Color(0xFF0A0A0A)),
        verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center
    ) {
        // Massive Text
        Text(
            text = "THE WORDS ARE",
            color = Color(0xFFF5F5F0),
            fontSize = 120.sp, // Absurd size
            fontFamily = FontFamily.SansSerif, // Replace with Anton
            lineHeight = 100.sp,
            softWrap = false, // Force bleed off edge
            modifier = Modifier.offset(x = (-20).dp)
        )
        
        // Outlined Text
        Text(
            text = "THE INTERFACE",
            fontSize = 100.sp,
            fontFamily = FontFamily.SansSerif,
            lineHeight = 90.sp,
            softWrap = false,
            style = TextStyle(
                drawStyle = Stroke(
                    miter = 10f,
                    width = 2f,
                    join = StrokeJoin.Round
                )
            ),
            color = Color(0xFFF5F5F0) // The stroke color
        )
    }
}
  • Set softWrap = false on Text to prevent it from wrapping and ruining the massive headline aesthetic.
  • Compose fully supports text outlines natively using style = TextStyle(drawStyle = Stroke(...)).

Do's and Don'ts

  • DO: Mix filled text and outlined text (using -webkit-text-stroke) for visual interest.
  • DON'T: Wrap the text in cards or containers. Let it bleed into the background.

Limitations

  • This is a styling reference and does not replace environment-specific validation, accessibility testing, or expert review.
  • Ensure appropriate contrast ratios and responsive behaviors are verified separately.
