We know from countless of studies that the optimal width of a block of text is between 65-80 characters (with a line-height of about 1.15). This is the optimal size of text, and it has been proven to be:
- Easier to move from one line to the next
- It is much faster to read in general
- The brain use less mental effort (which increases understanding and learnability)
