Your Body Text Is Too Small - 0 views

  • Some examples of sans-serif fonts that work well for large body text include Atlas Grotesk, Futura, Lato, Maison Neue, Real Text, Roboto, and Suisse Int’l.
  • Some examples of serif fonts that work well for large body text include Equity, Franziska, Leitura News, Merriweather, Miller, PT Serif, and Tisa.

  • a better starting point would be 20px on small desktop displays and greater. We should only have to resort to 16px for body copy on very small mobile devices
  • down to the eye again to optically adjust the letter-spacing and font size together
  • the optimal line length, or number of characters per line (CPL) in typography is around 55 to 75
  • line height should also be relative to the font size as it scales up for larger displays
  • This is not about having the biggest body text, because biggest isn’t best. It’s about optimizing for the best reading experience you can possibly give your users
  • sites that have adopted bigger body text even at small desktop or laptop resolutions such as 1440 x 900. They go from 20px all the way up to 58px!

The Incredible Em & Elastic Layouts with CSS - 0 views

  • Elastic design uses em values for all elements. Ems are a relative size, written like this: 1em, 0.5em, 1.5em etc. Ems can be specified to three decimal places like so: 1.063em. “Relative” means: They are calculated based on the font size of the parent element. E.g. If a <div> has a computed font size of 16px then any element inside that layer —a child— inherits the same font size unless it is changed. If the child font size is changed to 0.75em then the computed size would be 0.75 × 16px = 12px. If the user increases (or decreases) text size in their browser, the whole interface stretches (or shrinks.)
  • All popular browsers have a default font size of 16px. Therefore, at the default browser setting, 1em = 16px.
  • The <body> inherits it unless styled otherwise using CSS. Therefore 1em = 16px, 0.5em = 8px, 10em = 160px and so on. We can now specify any element size we need to using ems!
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • However, (gasp) IE has a problem with ems. Resizing text from medium (default) to large in IE5/6 would lead to a huge increase in font size rather than the gradual one expected. So another selector is needed to get IE to behave: html{ font-size:100%; }
  • Let’s give our <body> some more style, and center everything in the viewport (this will be important later for our content wrapper.) Our initial CSS ends up like this: html{ font-size: 100%; } body{ font-size: 1em; font-family: georgia, serif; text-align: center; color: #444; background: #e6e6e6; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
  • 1 ÷ 16 × 740 = 46.25em (1 ÷ parent font-size × required pixel value = em value)
  • While we're here, we might as well add some typographic goodness by selecting a basic leading and adding some vertical rhythm, with everything expressed in ems.
  • Set a 12px font size with 18px line height and margin for paragraphs
  • Dividing the desired line height (18px) by the element font size (12px) gives us the em value for line height. In this example, the line height is 1 and a half times the font size: 1.5em. Add line height and margin properties to the CSS: p{ font-size: 0.750em; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 1.5em; } Now the browser will say to itself, “Oh, line height and margin is set to 1.5em, so that should be 1.5 times the font size. What’s the font size, again? 12px? OK, cool, make line height and margin 1.5 times that, so 18px.”
  • To retain our vertical rhythm we want to set an 18px line height and margin. Easy: If the font size is 18px then 18px in ems is 1em! Let’s add the properties to the CSS (and make the font weight light:) h1{ font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1em; margin: 1em; font-weight: 300; }
  • Jon, good article and very useful chartm but your text sizing method has one major drawback. If elements with font-sizes set in em’s are nested, i.e with lists, these elements inherit the font size. Therefore each child element will be 0.75em (or 75%) of the previous one: See an example here. (Would have posted the code put it was coming out really ugly!) I would recommend against using that method and setting the global font size in the body tag i.e. 'font-size:75%' for 12px. Then only setting different font-sizes where necessary.
  • Thanks Will, interesting point, but that is solved with a simple font-size:1em on the first child. Retaining the default ensures that even images are sized correctly in ems. IE (surprise) will compute incorrectly against a parent length equivalent to 12px. My preference born out by some minor but painful computed size errors in complex layouts is not to adjust the body, and only set font size where necessary for specific elements.

A Human Rights Review of the Facebook Oversight Board - 0 views

  •  
    Hello There, I am here once again to tell you one of the best examples of evolution, yes the Facebook Oversight Board. Mark Zuckerberg while developing Facebook may not have thought of this day when he has to make a separate body to deal with content decisions, but when people started using Facebook, things started happening, Facts, False News, millions of appeals for content decisions, so to handle the grievances and unacceptable posts by a majority of individuals, a new independent body comes to existence to deal with all such appeals. fadsan portfolio when was conceptualized, it was clear to the promoters what they want to do. They were feeling the requirement of a Website development company, the best digital marketing company. A company that can understand the requirement of the various industries. They started their journey with few services like graphics design, digital marketing, etc. Slowly and steadily working on various other requirements of client they keep increasing their services, kept enhancing the quality of their services understanding and processing the client's feedback. This is the evolution of anything that exists. Make, deliver, feedback, amend and change and again deliver. It's a nonstop evolution cycle. Just look at the work of any mobile app development company or cloud computing or SMO Company. They all adopt the same procedure to evolve, they deliver, watch for results, change the backend algorithm, again go to market, get feedback from clients and again repeat the same cycle with more focussed working. But as per a cloud computing Company here Facebook has a bit different story. At any given point, for any particular post, they are dealing with millions of Clients, yes us the profile owners, the Facebook users. So the matter to be dealt with has to have an amicable approach. Concerning a mobile app development company Let us understand the factors that should be taken care of while reviewing Human Rights by the Facebook Oversi

A Beginner's Guide to Pairing Fonts | Webdesigntuts+ - 2 views

  • Using multiple fonts together can be difficult, achieving harmony is challenging, but if you manage it the result can be decorative and striking. Use fewer fonts and your task is more straight forward. Try to make the best of both worlds by selecting fonts with multiple variants and weights. In this way you can take advantage of an array of styles, safe in the knowledge that they’ll compliment each other just fine.
  • What’s the Nature of my Content? When selecting fonts it’s important to consider the nature of the layout you’re dealing with. Are we talking mainly body copy? Are there multiple headings, sub-headings? Perhaps it’s a magazine layout with decks, blockquotes? When using multiple fonts make sure that the roles are clearly established; if one font is used as a sub-heading, don’t switch to another font for a sub-heading elsewhere. Keep a font’s purpose clear.
  • How Do I Achieve Successful Pairing? You might have already heard this; successful pairing relies on concord, or contrast, but not conflict. That is to say your selected fonts can work well together by sharing certain qualities, or by being completely different from one another. However, font pairs can conflict in a number of ways – being too similar being just one.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The x-height of a font describes the height from the base line to the upper reaches of the lower case characters, like the x. A proportionately large x-height helps with readability.
  • Pairing 2: Contrast Contrast between fonts often lends a winning combination, but in what ways can fonts contrast? Here are just some qualities to look for: Style: Take a look at any font resource site and you’ll see them categorized as Blackletter, Monospace, Script, Slab Serif etc. Fonts of different styles will often contrast. Size: Big font, little font. Say no more. Weight: Varying the weight of fonts is a common way to establish visual hierarchy. Hierarchy achieved by contrast. Form: Consider the proportions of a typeface. The relative length of the descenders, the curvature of the shoulders, the direction of the movement. Color: Not something we’re going to go into here, but color can easily determine whether two fonts work well together.
  • It’s a classic way of pairing; take a decorative serif for the heading and a sure-footed sans-serif for the body. Or take a no-nonsense sans-serif for the headings, with a pleasantly legible serif for the body. A winner in many cases. Let’s look at a few, kicking off with two system fonts. That’s right, even they can work well together.
  • Condensed fonts always work well to get your attention, as they take up a lot of vertical real estate.
  • Slab serifs make very effective attention grabbers, but can be a bit pushy if you’re not careful.
  • Pairing 3: Conflict Let’s not focus too much on what doesn’t work well, we don’t want to sour the joyous combinations in the rest of this guide do we? That said, let’s just illustrate how two fonts, which are arguably too similar, can look awkward together.
  • Once you’ve concluded that you don’t like a font pairing, try to work out why and it will help you make decisions more quickly in the future.

CSS techniques I use all the time - 0 views

  • EM calculations Sizing text is always an important part of making a usable design. I start all my CSS files with the following rules: html { font-size:100.01%; } body { font-size:1em; } The explanation for this comes from "CSS: Getting Into Good Coding Habits:" This odd 100.01% value for the font size compensates for several browser bugs. First, setting a default body font size in percent (instead of em) eliminates an IE/Win problem with growing or shrinking fonts out of proportion if they are later set in ems in other elements. Additionally, some versions of Opera will draw a default font-size of 100% too small compared to other browsers. Safari, on the other hand, has a problem with a font-size of 101%. The current "best" suggestion is to use the 100.01% value for this property.
  • I used the following calculation: 14px/16px = .875, 18px/16px = 1.125. So my default text at 1 em would translate to 16px for most users, and my small text I sized at .875em which I can trust to result in 14px for most users, while my large text I sized at 1.125em which I can trust to result in 18px
  • Safe Fluid-width Columns I work with hybrid fluid layouts all the time, usually with max-width set at anywhere from 900 to 1000px. I usually have floated columns with percentage widths, and browsers will calculate these percentage widths to whole pixel values when rendering the columns.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • A typical problem is the following: when a user has the viewport at a size that makes the outer container 999 pixels wide, if the first column is 60% and the second is 40%, IE 6 will always calculate the two columns as 600 and 400 pixels and as a result, the two will not fit (600+400 = 1 more than 999) and it will drop the second column. This is obviously not intended behavior, and in a world where we still have to use floats for columns (I can't wait for display:table support across all browsers), it's important to work around this problem. I used to give my last column 1 less percent (in this example, it would have 39% instead of 40%, but this would usually result in columns that don't quite fill up the container. Of late I have been giving the last column .4 less percent (in this example, 39.6%), which seems to work perfectly. Browsers will calculate this width and round up, but it will still fit even with an odd container width like 999px and I won't have to worry about dropped columns.
  • Filtering for Old Browsers To be honest, I barely support IE 6 nowadays. If there is something special about my layout that doesn't work in IE 6, I will simply filter it out of the CSS that IE 6 understands
  • Because old browsers like IE 6 don't support the "first child" selector (right caret >), I can do the following to make sure that IE 6 only gets the basic setting and all the new-fangled browsers get the right result: div#container { width:900px; } html>body div#container { width:auto; max-width:900px; } /* This overrides the previous declaration in new browsers only, IE 6 simply ignores it. */

Font sizing with rem - Snook.ca - 0 views

  • The problem with em-based font sizing is that the font size compounds. A list within a list isn't 14px, it's 20px. Go another level deeper and it's 27px!
  • The rem unit is relative to the root—or the html—element. That means that we can define a single font size on the html element and define all rem units to be a percentage of that. html { font-size: 62.5%; } body { font-size: 1.4rem; } /* =14px */ h1 { font-size: 2.4rem; } /* =24px */
  • We can specify the fall-back using px, if you don't mind users of older versions of Internet Explorer still being unable to resize the text (well, there's still page zoom in IE7 and IE8). To do so, we specify the font-size using px units first and then define it again using rem units. html { font-size: 62.5%; } body { font-size: 14px; font-size: 1.4rem; } /* =14px */ h1 { font-size: 24px; font-size: 2.4rem; } /* =24px */
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • I'm defining a base font-size of 62.5% to have the convenience of sizing rems in a way that is similar to using px.
  • consistent and predictable sizing in all browsers, and resizable text in the current versions of all major browsers
  • The compounding nature of em-based font-sizing can be frustrating so what else can we do?
