Knowledge

Using a modular scale on the web means choosing numbers from the scale for type sizes, line height, line length, margins, column widths, and more.

Apply text-rendering: optimizeLegibility. This property-value pair enables a font’s native kerning instructions, which means that letters will be spaced exactly as the type designer intended.

based my scale on a relative type size of 1em for the tag, which (when you reset font-size to 100%) will result in a size equivalent to 16px in virtually all browsers.

For the web it’s 16px (1em) text and a measure of 60–75 characters(66 characters prefered) long, while headings should be 48px (3em).

35–40 characters per line on a typical smartphone seems to me to provide the best balance for more legible and readable text.

Website with consistent short, punchy titles may be better suited to a typographic scale with a high ratio (e.g. r = 4). This custom scale would add impact to the page titles, while remaining in harmony with the other elements on the page.

Unlike responsive typography, which changes only at set breakpoints, fluid typography resizes smoothly to match any device width. It is an intuitive option for a web in which we have a practically infinite number of screen sizes to support.

To increase readability and compensate for the loss in size due to distance, we increase the font size.

For a longer measure, use slightly greater leading, for a shorter measure, use slightly smaller leading.

Goals

• The metric size of a desktop typeface needs to be bigger than the sizes used for printed matter.
• Flexibility of a double-stranded modular scale.
• Don’t use pixels for font-sizes.
• Fluid Typography.
• Minimum And Maximum Font Sizes.
• Maintaining Ideal Line Length.
• Maintaining Vertical Rhythm.
