Typography critique

Audit asks "does this meet the criteria." Critique asks "is this any good." Both are legitimate; conflating them produces vague audits and unaccountable opinions.

1. When to invoke

• "Is this good?" / "Does this feel right?"
• "Why does this look generic / cheap / AI-generated?"
• Art-direction review, or judging an expressive risk.
• Choosing between options that all pass the audit.

Do not invoke when criteria exist and the question is compliance (typography-audit).

2. Required context
