Typography Best Practices

  • •Use rem or em units for scalable, accessible typography
  • •Maintain consistent line-height between 1.4-1.6 for body text
  • •Keep letter-spacing subtle; negative values work well for large headings
  • •Limit font family choices to 2-3 fonts maximum per project
  • •Use font-weight variations strategically to create hierarchy

Performance & Accessibility

  • •Test Google Fonts on different devices for performance
  • •Ensure sufficient color contrast for readability (WCAG AA: 4.5:1)
  • •Subset Google Fonts to include only necessary weights
  • •Provide fallback fonts for all custom font stacks
  • •Use font-display: swap for better perceived performance

Pro Tips

  • •System fonts (Arial, Helvetica) load instantly without external requests
  • •Line-height should increase for smaller font sizes (mobile: 1.6, desktop: 1.5)
  • •Negative letter-spacing (-0.5 to -1px) makes large headings feel tighter
  • •Em units inherit from parent, while rem units always refer to root size

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between px, rem, and em units?

px (pixels) are absolute units. rem is relative to the root font size (usually 16px), making it great for accessibility. em is relative to the parent element's font size, useful for scalable components.

How do I use the Google Fonts import?

When you select a Google Font, the generated CSS includes an @import statement at the top. Copy this into your stylesheet or add it to your HTML <head> section before your styles.

What's the ideal line-height for body text?

For body text, a line-height between 1.4 and 1.6 is recommended for optimal readability. Larger headings work better with tighter line-height (1.1-1.3) to maintain visual hierarchy.

When should I use letter-spacing?

Use negative letter-spacing (-0.5 to -1px) for large headings to tighten spacing. Positive letter-spacing (1-2px) works well for uppercase text and small labels to improve readability.

Are all font weights available for every font?

Not all fonts support all weights (100-900). Web-safe fonts typically have limited weights. Google Fonts vary - check the font's documentation for available weights.
