This is yet another one I’ve started to notice. It seemed that for the longest of times, 12-14px fonts were the standard across the web for body text. I’ve seen many websites opt instead for much larger fonts in the range of 16-18px for just their body text. Here is one by Trent Walton. This is significant in the fact that with responsive web design, typography plays an important role in the readability of content. When 18px font is displayed on a Phone, it’s much easier to reading than having to read 12px text. However, the trade-off on this is that when large Blog, articles are written with such a large font, it becomes rather obnoxious when viewing it on a larger, less pixel-dense screen.
