Typographic Quality Monitoring

Typographic quality is monitored at three levels, mirroring the color quality monitoring framework.

Individual asset compliance: every asset passes the brand critic's typography evaluation — font family identification, weight verification, hierarchy adherence, legibility check, contrast ratio verification. For AI-generated text, add: character accuracy (are all characters correctly formed?), kerning quality (is spacing between character pairs consistent?), and alignment precision (is text aligned to the specified grid?).

Batch consistency: within a batch, the typographic expression should be uniform. Same font rendering, same hierarchy proportions, same spatial relationships. A batch where half the assets use tight tracking and half use loose tracking has failed consistency — even if both are within the specification tolerance.

Long-term type health: monthly audit of the asset library for typographic patterns. Is the hierarchy ratio drifting? Are font substitutions becoming more frequent (indicating model degradation or prompt drift)? Is the average legibility score trending down? Are certain hierarchy levels being used disproportionately (headlines everywhere, body text disappearing)?

The monitoring dashboard includes a typographic health panel: font family distribution (what percentage of assets use the primary font versus substitutions), hierarchy compliance rate, average legibility score, and a trend line for each metric. Typography degrades slowly — the monitoring catches it before the audience does.
