Documentation and examples for Chi typography.
The sans-serif font stack is used to display all typography within Chi except code. For code, Chi defers to a monospace font stack.
font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;
font-family: Menlo, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", Courier, monospace;

<h1> | h1 Chi heading |
<h2> | h2 Chi heading |
<h3> | h3 Chi heading |
<h4> | h4 Chi heading |
<h5> | h5 Chi heading |
<h6> | h6 Chi heading |
