If you’re using FireFox, resize the text with ctrl + + to see how this works.

Also, I took extreme care to develop the theme so that it adheres quite strictly to a typographic grid. Click on the thumbnail above to get an idea what I mean, or read about setting type on the Web if you’re into that sort of thing. Continue reading →
