Overline

Overline styles are predefined combinations of typography variables for compact labels and categorisation, keeping them consistent across interfaces.

When to use overline

Overline styles are used for short categorical labels and compact pre-heading text. They help introduce a section or content type without taking on the weight of a full heading.
