I am setting up the initial typography style guide for a mobile fintech application, the issue I am stuck with is how to communicate what part of content needs to use "label" style vs "body" style.

My approach

Differentiate by the quantity of text for say,

  • If the content is just 2-3 words then its a "label"
  • Else I call it "body"

Though somehow I feel such differentiation is very counterintuitive to the general usage and definition of terms "Label" and "Body".

Looking for some suggestions around this issue.
Thanks in advance, Cheers!

    Labels can be many things, you need to differentiate by context, not content length. Also you might need a content strategy guide.

  • There's your answer right there. Think about how data is represented in context (label / value pairs is one example in forms). @jazZRo summed it up. You can also look up design systems like Material or Lightning (Salesforce design system) and start from there.
