Fallback stack
Use this CSS stack so the brand still feels right when Manrope can’t load:
font-family: 'Manrope', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;
Already wired in the portal’s Tailwind config under the font-sans token.
Secondary editorial typeface
For long-form editorial and reports where a serif sits more comfortably with extended reading, use Source Serif 4 (Adobe / Google Fonts, open source). Pair at a slightly smaller size than the equivalent Manrope step so the two voices balance.
Practical intervention, intelligent use of expertise.
Use sparingly. Aqualogic’s default voice is Manrope.
Spacing scale
An 8 px base unit. Predictable, easy to math at any zoom level, and aligned with both Tailwind’s default spacing scale and most print grids.
- 0.54 pxHairlines, tightest gaps.
- 18 pxIcon to label spacing.
- 1.512 pxInline gaps.
- 216 pxDefault small gap.
- 324 pxBetween paragraphs, between fields.
- 432 pxBetween sections of a card.
- 648 pxBetween cards or compact sections.
- 864 pxBetween major sections on a page.
- 1296 pxTop of a section, breathing room.
