Typography helps make text on the screen or text on the UI legible and
beautiful. Type styles include: display, title, label, body, arc, and numerals.
Use tokens to define font, line height, size, tracking, width and weight.

## Variable font axis in motion


Use a variable font axis to signal expressive motion feedback and making
interactions more expressive and delightful to use.

Example use-cases:

- Dynamic font weight
- Dynamic font width
- Dynamic font weight and width

## Tokens


Tokens assign an element's type style by a configurable value, rather than a set
value, making managing styles and themes considerably easier.

## Type roles


Along with an updated and optimized type scale, we are also introducing new type
roles that specifically serve notable patterns on Wear.

- Leaning into more use-cases with Arc Text like fixed height page titles or descriptors with limited space, such as confirmation overlays.
- A type role specifically for Numerals so we can lean into bigger and more styled text sizes for strings that don't need to be localized or benefit from mono or tabular spacing when animated, such as pickers.

## Resource: Google Fonts library


Search through a [wide variety of fonts](http://fonts.google.com/icons). Once you search for and select the
font you want, options will appear in the right-hand panel to resize, recolor,
and copy the customized font to clipboard.
