Sorry for spamming the issue tracker with ideas.
The current font size (14px) seems a little small. To me it looks better by setting the `font-size` on the `<html>` element to `18px`, and then setting the `font-size` on the `<body>` element to `1rem`.
Plis add pitcha for the web tools illiterate (me).
Probably better if all font sizes were in ems not px, I'm sure on @codebrainz 4k monitor 14px is small but its ok on my 2k and huge on the laptop.
(or maybe @codebrainz just needs glasses :grin: )

`em` is relative to the parent font size, at somewhere you have to set pixel size for the (r)em to be relative to.

I have 3 monitors, only one is 4k.
`em`s and `rem`s are ultimately based on the browser setting (unless somebody hard coded a `px` somewhere in the inheritance tree). The browser setting is controlled by the user to make text readable to them, webpages should not override the user by hard setting `px` when they don't know what device it is shown on.
It is common practice for websites to set their base font size using pixels. And they do know what device it is shown on, for example they can adjust the font size depending on the viewport size/orientation.
User agents are free to override this, I'm sure all browsers support it.
And as usual the web is dominated by the wrong way to do things, from the Mozilla docs:
``` Note: Defining font sizes in px is not accessible, because the user cannot change the font size from the browser. For example, users with limited vision may wish to set the font size much larger than the size chosen by a web designer. Avoid using them for font sizes if you wish to create an inclusive design. ```
just to be clear, I'm not opposed to not setting a base font (and usually getting 16px by default), I just think the current 14px is too small.
So maybe 1em or 1.1em.
1em is fine (with default browser size of 16px).
I'm closing until I figure out how the website works, "soon".
Closed #17.
