Todo list

• Review typescales for mobile and desktop
• • Should we use a single scale for mobile and desktop, or allow desktop to grow larger than mobile?
• Review margin for mobile and desktop
• • What margins should we use for each heading or text style?
• • Should we use both top and bottom margins, or should we only apply margins in one direction to avoid margin collapse?
• • Should fieldset and fieldset legend text styles be defined in Typography or a different primitives file?
• • Should formgroup be defined in typography, or in a different file since it only affects margin and not typographic styling?
