LEDGERMACHINE

LM-TYPE-004

Find one-off font stacks in CSS

A font family is used much less often than the project’s dominant stack.

What Ledgermachine reports

Font stack appears in one small area

Decision, not automatic repair

Keep purposeful code, data, editorial, or display faces; remove accidental local stacks.

Source example

What this finding can look like

The exact candidate comes from the project’s own tokens and repeated values. This example shows the shape of the issue, not a universal replacement.

Flagged source
.empty-state { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; }
One possible resolution
.empty-state { font-family: var(--font-ui); }

Resolution workflow

Fix the source without erasing intent

  1. Inspect

    Review every reported occurrence and the established candidates Ledgermachine found in the same project.

  2. Decide

    Keep purposeful code, data, editorial, or display faces; remove accidental local stacks.

  3. Verify

    Make the change in your editor or coding agent, then rescan. Ledgermachine stays read-only and records whether the finding cleared.
