Material typography V2

[colmbrady]

Material design has updated its typography definitions.

any plans to mirror that in this library?

[hectahertz]

Definitely!

Any guiding principles for starting this work? Id be open to contributing this work.

Any ideas on how you want to version the Material typography? e.g. materialOld.js ..?

The updated scale is quite different, so probably some of the users won't want to migrate to the new scale right away.

Having that in mind, I think that we should aim for:

• A solution for the users that want to keep using the old scale for now and migrate their styles manually
• A way for users to switch to the new scale immediately
• Not introducing complexity for new users that are only interested in the new scale

Material UI took an interesting approach, see: https://material-ui.com/style/typography/#migration-to-typography-v2

I also recommend reading the RFC: mui/material-ui#12741

We could go for a similar solution, what do you think?

@hectahertz Any news on this?

@hectahertz hello, thank you for the great work! Are you still planning to work on this? I also wonder if iOS styles are still relevant or they need to be updated as well (for example, according to official resources, largeTitleEmphasized seems to have letterSpacing value of 0.37 but definitions show 0.41).
