## What it is
Typeplate is a 'typographic starter kit' — a small (~5 KB) Sass library that defines proper markup and extensible styling for common typographic patterns without imposing aesthetic design choices. This repository hosts the project's official website (typeplate.com), while the core starter kit lives in the typeplate/starter-kit repository.

## Use cases
- set up consistent typographic defaults for a new website
- style headings, body text, and typographic patterns with Sass variables
- add a lightweight typography baseline without a full CSS framework
- build modular sites where styling and markup stay separated
- kickstart a blog or content site with sensible type scale and rhythm

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, unopinionated typographic foundation in Sass
- you need proper markup conventions for common typographic patterns without aesthetic decisions
- you want a tiny footprint (~5 KB) instead of a full CSS framework

## When to avoid
- you need a complete CSS framework with layout, components, and utilities
- you want pre-designed visual themes rather than structural typography
- you need actively maintained tooling — the project has not released since 2017
