Have Responsive Typography
Typography is one of the cornerstones of web design and, as such, can make the website impractical when ignored. Adjusting typography to several screen layouts is essential to end up with text that’s legible and organized.
Set a base value for your font size and scale it to fit each major breakpoint. The standard width for text columns on desktops is 70-80 characters per line and even shorter on mobile, so be mindful of line lengths. Pay close attention to your site’s headings to make sure they are properly sized on large and small displays.
