04 Body Text Performance
14px / 1.72 leading
Typography is the craft of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line spacing, and letter spacing, and adjusting the space between pairs of letters.
12px / 1.78 leading
The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process. Type design is a closely related craft, sometimes considered part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers. Typography also may be used as a decorative device, unrelated to communication of information.
18px / 1.65 leading
Good typography is measured by how well it reinforces the meaning of the text. It is not an end in itself; it serves the words it shapes. The best type disappears into the page and lets the reader inhabit the idea directly.
24px / 1.45 leading
Letters are things, not pictures of things.
