Rules

  • Body text is 16 px or larger, with a 66-character measure.
  • Line height is 1.5 or more for body, and text must reflow at 200% zoom and at 320 px wide.
  • Do not set body copy in the display face.
  • Sunrise pulls the four fluid display sizes in because the rounded face runs wider: --fs-5 22 to 30 px, --fs-6 30 to 52 px, --fs-7 38 to 88 px, --fs-8 42 to 116 px.
  • Avoid long runs of capitals. Labels are short.
