Best Practices

  • Use font sizes of 16 – 19 pixels.
  • Avoid using underlines unless it’s for a link in paragraph text.
  • Avoid all uppercase letters when possible.
  • Ensure hyperlinks are distinct from headings and normal text.
  • Slightly darken the reading background. In Pelican, the class bg-less-bright may be added to achieve this. The card containing this content uses this class.
