Styling

• Text line length: Research has shown that the ideal line length is about 65 characters. Anywhere between 45 and 85 is generally seen as acceptable, in the context of a roman alphabet. Reading is a complex process, and we should strive to make it as easy as possible. From joshwcomeau's blog
