Unorthodox Tailwind Chapters 4 and 5: Typography and Theming

I’ve been deep into the work for Unorthodox Tailwind and I’m happy to announce that both chapters 4 and 5 are ready for you to read.

In here, I show you how to handle Typography and Theming synergistically with Tailwind and CSS.

Here’s how much time you can expect to spend on these chapters:

Chapter 4 Typography System: 8 lessons, 22 minutes. Chapter 5 Theming System: 8 lessons, 19 minutes.

And here’s their table of contents:

Typography System lessons: Introduction, A system for using multiple typefaces, Tailwind's font-size system, Finding your font-size system, My font-size system, A simple responsive typography system, The main body, Vertical rhythm
Theming System lessons: Introduction, Tailwind's colour system, The pigment system, Tailwind's gradient system, A friendlier gradient system, Handling SVG fill and stroke, Improving Tailwind's color palette, A simple way to theme

As usual, if you have purchased the course then go ahead and log in to the student platform to access it. (Email me if you can’t access it and I’ll fix that for you).

I’m working on the last two chapters as we speak — and I’m also improving my processes as I work through them. So the last 2 chapters might take a little bit longer, but it’s really an exciting update for you and for me!

I intend to finish the whole course and deliver everything to you over the next two weeks.
