# Text

Body, lead and small, set in the kit’s one typeface with the measure and the leading fixed, so a paragraph reads the same in every finish.

## Three sizes

Lode runs long-lived agents and reports on them the way a good appliance does.

Every run has a stop key. Press it and the agent halts between tool calls, then rolls back what it wrote to the last checkpoint. Figures are tabular: 1,284.50 · 96.1% · 00:30.

Measured hourly from eleven regions.

```
<p class="tui-lead">Lode runs long-lived agents…</p>
<p class="tui-text">Every run has a stop key…</p>
<p class="tui-small">Measured hourly from eleven regions.</p>
```

- **tui-lead**: 16 px, 1.5, second ink, 58 characters a line at most
- **tui-text**: 13.5 px, 1.6, first ink, 68 characters
- **tui-small**: 12 px, 1.5, second ink

## Rules

- Body text in the first or second ink only; the third ink is for scales and hints.
- Keep the measure: a line longer than 70 characters is set too wide.
- Figures are always tabular, so columns of numbers line up.

## The full law

This page is a summary in plain words. The brain holds the law itself, in `printing.md`, written for an agent to follow. It ships with the Kit.
