Vertical Rhythm

Improving Readability with Line Height

01. The Concept

Line-height controls the vertical space between lines. The golden rule for body copy is a line-height between 1.4 and 1.6 to allow the eye to track back.

02. Production-Ready Code

p { line-height: 1.6; }

💡 Pro Typography Tip

Never use fixed pixel values for line-height; always use unitless multipliers.
