Why it matters
Body text needs breathing room between lines, typically 1.4 to 1.7 times the font size. Tight leading turns paragraphs into a wall.
How to apply it
- Use about 1.5 for body copy
- Use tighter leading (1.1 to 1.25) for big headings
- Add space between paragraphs too
Common mistakes
- line-height: 1 on paragraphs
- The same line height for headings and body
