Perfect Typography – The Web՚s First Line Height Calculator
For finding the perfect line height you should not only consider the font
size, but the line length as well. Text boxes should also not be to short,
because jumping from one line to the other after a couple of words is as
tiring for the eyes as following endless lines over the whole screen.
Especially nowadays with the widespread use of wide screen monitors,
liquid layouts can lead to very long lines thus reducing the user experience.
Hence, width for text blocks should also be considered when defining the
appropriate line height. In order to ease these estimations web designer
Armin Cobo offers a line height calculator along with some tips and
references to useful resources on Perfect typography.
