![]() ![]() Body copy is set with a line-height of 1.666 So, for Gotham set at 1rem rendering at 18px, this would create a line-height of 30px. Text Line-height is the critical element that establishes our vertical rhythm, and gives our designs typographical harmony, in addition to providing good legibility for long-form reading. The goal with all text content is that the line-height adheres to the baseline grid by being set as a pixel value multiple of 5. ![]() Conversely, long-form paragraph reading requires comfortable line-height to facilitate tracking back to the start of the next line. This is because less line-height is needed for headings which are read as "clusters" of words. In general terms, as the size of text increases the line-height property of that text also decreases slightly. This is a multiple of 5 and 5px is the interval that designers and developers should ALWAYS seek to align elements to. Our body-copy line-height generates spacing between lines of body-copy content of 30px. The baseline grid is constructed upon a fraction of the leading (line-height) of the most significant volume of content. ![]() It determines all the proportions and vertical spacing used on our pages. This boundary creates more delineation between the two sections that is more appealing than what can be achieved by text alone.įor typographical layouts a baseline grid is used to create a harmonious vertical rhythm as users explore downwards on screen. In design system we seek to mitigate this transition by using a change in the background, or a horizontal separator, at the same time. Often switching content alignment between a centred layout to a left aligned layout or vice versa creates an awkward, jarring transition. ![]()
