• Readable body text: measure, line height and contrast

  Three properties decide whether long text can be read comfortably: line length (WCAG's AAA criterion caps it at 80 characters), line spacing (at least 1.5 times the font size must be possible without breaking the layout) and contrast (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). Set them in relative units so users can resize and re-space the text.
