Among the different serif system fonts we recommend Georgia (present in many operating systems).īelow you can see an example CSS code to support the default system fonts: /** Most platforms have plenty of options for supporting latin-based languages, where the serif concept makes sense. We recommend relying on the operating system's default sans-serif typeface. Open source fonts are preferred to align with the open knowledge they deliver. Fonts with less complex shapes work better at smaller sizes and on low-resolution devices. The font should work with many different kinds of content without adding a particular voice to it. Fonts with a bigger x-height and open shapes are preferred. To select an appropriate font family for a given language script or device, follow these criteria:

Clip the text with ellipsis, only if there is no risk of missing important information or the complete information is reachable through a clear alternative means. Use a smaller font-size for long content. Adjust the size depending on the content. Make containers expandable, so that they can fit the content. Consider reducing the number of elements to ensure the remaining ones have enough room. Here are few ways to tackle dynamic text: Text shown at different font sizes depending on their length. Avoid designing interfaces that depend on certain expectations about text length. Internationalization note: Use a bigger line height in a relative size unit like rem or em, not in an absolute like px, to prevent clipping of some Indic scripts, for example Burmese.Ĭontent will be available in multiple languages, and text length will vary for pieces of content across languages.

Line height should be 1.6 times the size of the font used.

Line length for reading in English is ideally no longer than 75 characters.

Follow these considerations for text paragraphs: How text is placed in space can affect its readability. Don't: Low contrast below 4.5:1, especially at smaller sizes, makes text harder to read. Bento (弁当 bentō) is a single-portion take-out or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine.
