Line Length on Intercom's Blog Redesign

← Notes · Jul 15, 2016

I love the new @Intercom blog design, but at 100 characters per line, this is incredibly difficult to read.

Intercom blog post with a highlighted line of body text spanning about 100 characters

Bumping the paragraph size from 18px up to 22px puts characters per line at about 75, which is much better.

The same Intercom post with larger text, the highlighted line now about 75 characters
