Font Family
The Framework ships two pixel font bundles: Classic (NicoPups, NicoClean, BlockKie) and TRMNL (TRMNL12, TRMNL16, TRMNL21). Low-density displays use the selected bundle; high-density displays use Inter Variable for legibility.
The original pixel set. Three single-weight fonts: NicoPups, NicoClean, BlockKie. Default in Framework 3.0.
The new pixel set. Three font families with Regular and Bold weights: TRMNL12, TRMNL16, TRMNL21. Default in Framework 3.1.
<div class="screen screen--fonts-classic">...</div><div class="screen screen--fonts-trmnl">...</div>
Both bundles are available in Framework 3.x. Low-density displays use the selected pixel-font bundle.
High-density displays use Inter Variable regardless of bundle or bit depth.
In Framework 3.1, screens without a font-bundle class use TRMNL by default; add
screen--fonts-classic to opt into Classic.
Classic bundle
Three single-weight pixel fonts.
Activate by adding screen--fonts-classic to the screen root.
This controls pixel-font output on low-density displays; high-density displays still resolve to Inter.
NicoPups
Designed at 16px pixel height. Used for descriptions, small labels, and metadata.

NicoClean
Designed at 16px pixel height. The workhorse font, used for labels, rich text body copy, and title-bar text.

Classic bundle
TRMNL bundle
Three font families, each with Regular and Bold weights.
This is the implicit default for Framework 3.1 when no font-bundle class is present.
Add screen--fonts-trmnl when you want to pin the bundle explicitly.
This controls pixel-font output on low-density displays; high-density displays still resolve to Inter.
TRMNL12
Designed at 12px pixel height. The smallest pixel font, used for descriptions, small labels, and metadata.

TRMNL bundle
Component-by-component bundle map
Each component picks the appropriate font based on the active bundle. On high-density displays Inter Variable is used for every component regardless of bundle.
