    1. One quick typesetting tip I was taught years ago. When setting paragraphs with space in between them, then use half the line height. So, if you have a two paragraphs set in 16px size type with 21px line height, then the space between them will be 10.5px.

    Often, a whole line (in this case, 21px) is visually too much disrupting the vertical flow and reading comfort. Slightly tighter makes things easier to read. Key thing is the measurement isn’t arbitrary. There is still a relationship with the other text.
