When to rebuild instead of refactor.
We've made the wrong call on this twice. Here's the heuristic we use now.

This is a placeholder body. Replace it with the actual post content via MDX or your CMS of choice. The styling below shows how prose elements render in the Microsive type system.
Body paragraphs use Bricolage Grotesque at 18px with 1.7 line-height. Long-form reads better than the marketing pages do at this scale. The eye gets to relax. Sentences can be longer.
You can also have shorter ones. They land harder.
Pull-quotes use Instrument Serif italic — sparingly. Maybe one or two per post. Three is greedy.
Inline code looks like useState — set off but never shouting.
// Code blocks have generous padding
function MagicalThing() {
return "and a single accent for emphasis";
}And we close with a paragraph that doesn't try too hard.
