Proportional Hierarchy Rules

Variant series typography demands mathematical consistency between batch descriptors, ingredients, and regulatory codes. Applying a fixed modular ratio avoids visual fragmentation across dissimilar container sizes.

  • •Major Third ratio (1.25) preserves structural clarity on compact 2-inch bottles.
  • •Positive tracking compensation (+0.04em) ensures micro-type readability down to 5.5pt.
  • •Strict 4pt vertical baselines ensure identical label alignments across variant sets.
