Font Family Variable Value Usage
Lato Bold @header-font font-family: ‘Lato’, sans-serif Headings
Lato @body-font font-family: ‘Lato’, sans-serif Body

ExpressUI uses Lato for both headings and body text. It should be specified otherwise when headings and body fonts differ. ExpressUI automatically imports Lato via Google Fonts

Headings

<%= render "express_ui/atoms/headings" %>

Icons

<%= render "express_ui/atoms/icons" %>

Inline and Block Elements

Assign margin and padding to headers to make sure they are spaced well against other elements
