Text
- Font Settings
- Font Size
The default font size for the website.
Also used to calculate the sizes for each of the headings based off the Header 1 font size (see below for proportions.). The Header 1 font size is 2.25 times the standard font size by default.
- Font
The default font family for the website.
- Line Height
Overrides the default line height.
Line height is the vertical space each line of text takes up. Therefore a 14px font will have at least 16px line height to ensure a small amount of vertical space between the lines. If the line height is increased it tends to make the text more legible.
- Header 1 Font Size
Overrides the default Header 1 font size set from the standard font size. All other header font sizes are proportional to this size:
- H2 = 89% of H1
- H3 = 78% of H1
- H4 = 67% of H1
- H5 = 56% of H1
- H6 = 50% of H1
Appearance
- Sizing
- Base Padding
The amount of padding, in pixels, that each standardised element that has been defined to have padding, is set to by default
- Curves Enabled
For standardised elements that can be set to have rounded corners (buttons, containers, etc) this turns that option on or off. The amount of curve is defined as a multiple (x2) of the padding selected as “Base Padding”.
