Per-Section Posterization
Every long-page section resets into another hero with giant display type, excessive lead-in space, outline words, numbered labels, or a full visual spectacle.
Anti-patternsContextual
Intent
Preserve one display crescendo and create section hierarchy through content, media, composition, density, and interaction instead of repeated headline scale.
Checks
- Use hero-scale typography at one display apex and at most one intentional secondary climax.
- Step ordinary section headings down materially and remove empty bands that exist only to frame type.
- Rewrite adjacent sections that repeat the same heading, spacing, and grid move.
Warnings
- Changing background color or alignment does not make repeated hero sections structurally different.
Exceptions
- An explicit poster, exhibition, or typographic narrative may use repeated display moments when the sequence itself is the concept and viewport fit remains intact.
