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.
