		trumbitta2 on April 12, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Website Obesity Crisis (2015) It's all smiles and sunshine, until you choose 13px as the font-size for this post. It's right then, that it happens. You made a good point about lightweight, text-driven web, but didn't care to use a saner 16px for the font-size. And so you instantly become a stereotype in my eyes. The old guy shaking his fists at modern hipster web. See this for an example of a lightweight site with a good design and readability: http://www.zeldman.com/

The meaning of "13px" on a website is completely up to you. All CSS units are relative.
