Long-form text below 18px
- Forbidden
- 14px or 16px body text for an article, description or any sustained reading
- Instead
--text-prose(18px) with--leading-prose(1.6) for long-form text.--text-body(16px) is for UI text — labels, controls, table cells, short strings — which is read in glances rather than sustained passages.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
People read at roughly arm's length on every device. Small type is a designer's preference, not a reader's. When the text is a paragraph someone must actually get through, size up.
