Baseline Grid for vertical rhythym

[vilav]

Hello

Been waiting for this font, so stocked it's here after seeing it on twitter!
Are there values to use the typeface at different sizes such that a vertical rhythm is maintainted.

EX: Using it in a Keynote deck at 18 pts on a 1440x900 px canvas. What's the right value for line-spcing that will ensure a even vertical rhythm?

Hey @qqpin, do we have any guidance for presentations yet?

Hi
What are you looking for? Keynote presentation guidance? or line-height breakdown for selected type scales? We don't have guidance for presentation for now. but in general, we use 24px leading (line-height) for 18px.

Hi @qqpin, hoping to get some guidance on setting up a baseline grid and having some corresponding font sizes to make it more visually pleasing and easier to read.

For instance: https://codepen.io/toddpadwick/full/KzLBrW

This is in pixels. Keynote sets fonts in points (as far as I can tell). Looking to see if there's a way to setup the baseline grid and font size in a manner similar to the link above where all text lines up to the grid well.

Thanks for more context @vilav.

When reading this article, I notice the difference between following a baseline and our implementation. A baseline grid sets all line-heights at a multiple of the smallest line height (which would be 16px in our case).

When you look at our scale, you will notice that our line heights are much more detailed to what we find most optically pleasing. We do not plan on supporting a scale that focuses on a baseline grid. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
