Notes

On Typography

Code

A page of text has only a few decisions in it: the family, the measure, the leading, and the restraint to stop there.

Everything else — boxes, cards, shadows, accent colours — is a substitute for having made those four well.

Measure

Sixty-five to seventy-five characters. Wider and the eye loses the line return; narrower and the rhythm breaks up.

Setting Value
Measure 34rem
Leading 1.6
