Thread:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Design/Typography/Font for body text is still too small.../reply

With the typography refresh, the current body copy size is 0.875 em which is roughly 16 pixels with 21 pixels in line height. It is separately optimized for mobile and tablet. If we increase the type size, the line height has to be proportionally increased. Overall this has a slight impact on how much a user can see on smaller desktop screens. It would be useful to see if more users (other language projects) request a larger size, since it is already a change from the current body copy size.
