Body copy

Body text uses a system serif stack sized with a fluid modular scale. The measure is constrained so lines stay near the Practical Typography range (roughly 45–75 characters). Leading is set for comfortable long-form reading.

A second paragraph follows with the same spacing rhythm. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident.
