Everything old is new again. This sort of thing was mainstream in the 50s. British acts would record and release cover versions of US hits months before the US record companies got round to releasing the original versions in the UK.

The "Golden Ratio Typography" page this post links to claims that the ideal width of a line of text is equal to the square of the line height. It does not give any justification for this claim. This implies that doubling the line height sho
