Frequently Asked Questions
What line height ratio is recommended for body text?
A ratio between 1.4 and 1.6 is commonly recommended for comfortable body text readability, with the exact ideal value depending on the specific typeface, line length, and overall design context.
Should headings use the same line height ratio as body text?
Typically no, larger headings often use a tighter ratio, closer to 1.1 to 1.3, since large text needs less vertical spacing between lines to remain visually balanced and readable.
Why does line height matter for readability?
Line height that is too tight can make text feel cramped and hard to read, while line height that is too loose can make it difficult for the eye to track from the end of one line to the start of the next.
