Reply To: font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; is enough?

Maybe his site is aimed at children

Even if it is aimed at children, there are far better and more readable typefaces to choose from than Comic Sans. I think we would both agree with that.

Well, try it. Starting from 20px and up, it’s where it becomes “large enough” to be “comfortable” to read. With Arial and Helvetica I think that’s at 16px, but for Open Sans, which looks like it’s smaller in general, I just suggest 20px.

What about mobile? Do you still set it at 20px? Open Sans is very legible and readable at small sizes.
