Instead of mocking data with a bunch of rectangles in a rough prototype, use a specially designed font like Flow or BLOKK Neue.
Use bullets and numbers to organize information, emphasize important details, or outline steps. Check out the video by Anthony DiSpezio with a quick demo. Hope you caught the fun lists launched as an April Fools joke!

Mizko made a good tutorial on creating a type scale using a tool by Jeremy Church. Other videos on his YouTube channel are worth checking out as well!
