Best practices
- Use when the primary goal of the page is communication rather than interaction.
- Use larger display text sizes when a page is focused around a single message. In these cases it may be paired with an illustration.
- Use smaller display text to pair with larger text, or alone as part of more complex data displays such as dashboards.
Content guidelines
Display text
Display text should be:
- Benefits-driven and focused on information that is most important to merchants
- Concise and scannable:
- Use simple, clear language that can be read at a glance
- Keep display text content to a short sentence that’s just a few words in length
- Avoid using punctuation such as periods, commas, or semicolons
- Avoid using exclamation marks—display text already makes enough of a statement without an exclamation mark
- Written in sentence case
