ALT Diagram showing some example text, which states that for things that are handheld, the x-height should usually be at least 1.2mm. That is Arial at 7pt in print or 16px for websites. For things at a distance, for a viewing distance of 1m, the x-height should usually be at least 3mm, e.g. Arial at 17pt. For any other viewing distance, multiply these values by the distance in metres. Additionally, the gap between lines should usually be about 1.5 times the x-height (or more) and the background colour should extend beyond the text. We also advise avoiding low contrast text and ultra light, extra bold, decorative and outlined fonts.
