# Text

Body copy and metadata. Set `measure` on every paragraph: it caps the line at 68 characters,
and long unmeasured lines are the fastest way to make this layout look careless.

`muted` is for secondary text and metadata. `size="small"` is for metadata and captions.
Neither is a way to fit more in.

Write short declarative sentences with a full stop. Concrete nouns over categories.

```jsx
<Text measure>Threat models are written once and then run in the pipeline.</Text>
<Text size="small" muted>Passau, Innstr. 43</Text>
```

Astro equivalent: `<p class="body measure">`, `<p class="small muted">`.
