The Silver Bullet

Standard browser bullet lists are typographic disasters. They use oversized, badly aligned bullet characters, tie paragraph spacing to standard text flow, and refuse to sit harmoniously with surrounding content.

The Silver Bullet is the CSS snippet we inject into typeset.ts to automatically resolve this. By using strictly relative em units, it scales perfectly regardless of your base font size. It drops the bullet vertically to align exactly with the lowercase x-height, separates items visually while maintaining body-copy leading, and enforces structural rhythm.
