Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Typography hierarchy organizes text by importance through size, weight, color, spacing, and position, enabling users to scan interfaces efficiently.

Common mistakes include using too many font sizes, overusing emphasis, inconsistent styling, poor contrast, and inadequate spacing.
