💡 Typography Tip
Line-height is proportional
You might have heard the advice that a line height of about 1.5 is a good starting point from a readability perspective.
While that’s not necessarily untrue, choosing the right line-height for your text is a bit more complicated than just using the same value across the board in all situations.
Accounting for line length
The reason we add space between lines of text is to make it easy for the reader to find the next line when the text wraps. Have you ever accidentally read the same line of text twice, or accidentally skipped a line? The line- height was probably too short.
When lines of text are spaced too tightly, it’s easy to finish reading a line of text at the right edge of a page then jump your eyes all the way back to the left edge only to be unsure which line is next.
This problem is magnified when lines of text are long. The further your eyes have to jump horizontally to read the next line, the easier it is to lose your place.
That means that your line-height and paragraph width should be proportional — narrow content can use a shorter line-height like 1.5, but wide content might need a line-height as tall as 2.
That’s all for now, folks. Let us know if you have any thoughts/comments. We read and reply to every email :)
