if you are under 30 years old and picking a font size for something other people need to read, not just yourself: that’s too small. still too small. A LITTLE BIGGER

I exploited this when I was 19 by setting my computer lab terminal window to use a 5px all-caps font. The professor couldn’t tell I was on IRC. But now, alas, I am the middle-aged professor

Fractional point sizes (12.5 rather than 12) ) and 110% line spacing helps pad out a tedious essay 😉

@simonzerafa @0xabad1dea Also change the periods to 14pt font :)
@jernej__s @simonzerafa @0xabad1dea I am convinced all the period trick did was increase the vertical spacing between lines
