Reading quality

Good typography is often invisible and makes the reading experience seamless. To achieve that, we keep in mind a couple of aspects, includinge line length, leading, hierarchy, and alignment.

Line length

Line length is the amount of character per line. It should allows the user's eyes to flow easily from the end of one line to the start of the next line. The range is set from 32 to 80 characters.

Line length

The number of characters per line, including spaces, may range from 32 to 80 characters.

Line length

Too narrow or too wide of a paragraph can hinder the reading experience.

Leading

To have a perfect leading is essential for a good readability. Making it too close or too far will affect the quality of the reading experience.

Rags

When writing a long paragraph, work together with a content strategist to find a way to smoothen the rags.

Orphans and widows

Adjust the line length with content strategist to avoid awkward widows.

Simplicity

We strive for simplicity. Avoid to use multiple styles at the same paragraph as it may break the reading experience.

Alignment

Type alignment controls how the text positions itself in the layout. Generally, we use two type of alignment: Left for paragraph and Center for short statement.

Flush left for paragraph

To maintain the functionality, effectiveness, and legibility of reading a paragraph. We default to flush left. It creates the strongest readability for readers’ eyes to follow.

Flush left for paragraph do
icon do Do
Flush left for paragraph don't
icon dont Don't
Flush left for paragraph caution
icon do Caution
Flush left for paragraph don't
icon dont Don't
Short statement

We always prefer flush left by default. However, center alignment can be used to put emphasis on short statements when necessary.

Short statement do
icon do Do

Use center alignment when the length of the statement is short or less than 50 characters.

Short statement do
icon do Do

The statement should be on flush left when the paragraph has more than 60 characters.
