✅ Excellent readability: 16px body text is ideal for all devices.

✅ Strong hierarchy: Headlines are 2.0x larger than body text.

✅ Excellent performance: System fonts eliminate font loading delays (better LCP).

⚠️ Risky: Text appears on background images without overlay protection.

⚠️ Cramped layout: 25 elements lack adequate spacing.

✅ Clean layout: Consistent left alignment throughout.
