Redundant Typographic Label
A redundant typographic label is an eyebrow that restates information already present in the heading or content beneath it.
The tell
A small uppercase or mono line directly above a heading that repeats the heading's own words.
Why it happens
Section eyebrows are a strong visual signature of the template styles that dominate training data, so models add them by default — even when the copy underneath already labels itself.
The rule
Keep the eyebrow only when it adds context the heading cannot carry.
- Delete the eyebrow and re-read the section; if nothing is lost, leave it out.
- If you keep it, give it new information — category, date, sequence, constraint.
- Never let the eyebrow repeat a word that appears in the heading.
What is a Redundant Typographic Label?
An eyebrow reading FEATURES above a heading that already says "Features", or a mono tag repeating the section name, adds a tier without adding information. Eyebrows earn their place when they carry context the heading does not: a category, a date, a step number, a constraint. If removing the label loses nothing, remove the label.
