Designing for the reader, not the writer
1 minute read
Notes on typography, line length and contrast from rebuilding this very blog.
A blog is a reading tool. Everything that does not serve reading is decoration, and decoration has a cost.
What we settled on
Here is what changed and why it matters in practice.
18px body text at 1.75 line height
A measure capped around 68 characters
Full contrast body copy, not grey on grey
Measure first. Then change one thing.
