As I contemplate a long-overdue redesign, it’s worth looking back at what we’ve learned about web typography over the past 20+ years. (Illustration by Kevin Cornell for A List Apart.)

I released a little bookmarklet to help designers (and devs) master their vertical rhythm.

Vertical Rhythm is the spacing and arrangement between words as a user reads down the page. On the web, this is a difficult thing to get right, even with tools like Compass assisting.

The problem really comes in, when you have multiple columns of text. If you want text lines to consistently land in the same places, you really need a visual aid that you can quickly drop in at any point as a reference.

This is where the Gridwax bookmarklet comes in; Once you've got it secured on your bookmark bar, you can drop the overlay on your site, and use hotkeys to quickly adjust it to match your baseline.

Baseline grid

I found that this website, "24 ways: Compose to a Vertical Rhythm", was the most understandable and helpful guide to set a baseline grid to my magazine project.

It basically informed me to include the following code in my CSS style:

p {     line-height: 1.5em;     margin-top: 1.5em;     margin-bottom: 1.5em; }

This has provided better spacing between any paragraphs of text on the site which allows more comfortable reading for the user.
