The <dsgn-text> component renders body copy inside a <p> element with
typography drawn from the design tokens. Use it for paragraphs, captions, and
supporting copy; use <dsgn-heading> for headings.
Usage
<dsgn-text size="base">This is a paragraph of body text.</dsgn-text>Import the component module in your application entrypoint:
import '@ds-gn/ui/text';Props

alignment prop on <dsgn-heading-block> for a whole section.

</dsgn-text>Accessibility
The component renders a paragraph, so each <dsgn-text> should hold one
paragraph of copy. color="tertiary" is the lowest-contrast step — reserve it
for supplementary text and keep essential copy at primary or secondary.
