It's a nice article that has some good data and makes thoughtful points, but oh my god the readability! That is the most gentle-on-my-eyes reading I think I have ever done on the web.
As someone who has spent a lot of time finding ways to make web pages more readable https://github.com/chrisbroski/simple-css https://github.com/chrisbroski/simple-css I am impressed. After a little revers-engineering to figure out what he did that makes his so much better than mine, I discovered the major difference is he is using the Equity font http://typographyforlawyers.com/equity.html http://typographyforlawyers.com/equity.html (of his own making.) I typically think custom fonts are of dubious value but damn in this instance it made a real difference.
I know the guy wrote a book on typography so I shouldn't be so surprised his typography is so good, but I am so used to being disappointed.
