Design Systems
Styling Guide (Typography + Code)
Documentation should feel easy to read for extended periods, especially when pages combine explanatory text, UI references, and code.
MokuDocs uses a clean, restrained visual system designed to support scanning and comprehension rather than visual novelty.
Typography principles
prioritise readability over density
keep heading hierarchy obvious
avoid overly narrow body widths
use spacing to separate ideas clearly
Code principles
code should be easy to distinguish from body copy
inline code should be used for short references only
longer examples should live in dedicated code blocks
examples should be valid, readable, and worth copying
Practical guidance
Use typography and code styling to support clarity, not aesthetic experimentation. A documentation system should feel stable and dependable first.
What good looks like
readable line length
consistent heading rhythm
code samples that are clean and complete
tables and callouts that feel part of the same system
