Hi, this is a basic setup for the Helpful style guide. Please feel free to fork this code pen as seen neccessary. Check out the WIP #97 on Assembly.
All text is set in Open Sans with font-smoothing: antialised.
The base font-size is 18px, with a line-height of 1.45.
Links don't have a text-decoration: underline, but a border-bottom instead, with a slightly more transparent version of the color of the text (see color section).
An example paragraph with strong text , emphasized text and a link , spanning multiple lines so you can see the line-height.

Never use full black, instead opt for #333 or maybe even a tinted grey. There are two accent colors: primary for main actions and secondary for other actions .
Basic text links use the secondary color.
If you need a tinted version (like for drop shadows, see buttons section), use SASS darken($color, 15% ).
All buttons have a disabled (opacity: .5) state.
Buttons get a little offset look with a 2px box-shadow on the y-axis in 15% darkened background-color.
Alerts are used for system messages to the user.
