An interesting and though provoking perspective by Oliver Reichenstein on why larger type and lower content density is good for readability on the Web.
“Physically 16pt [on screen] is as big as 11pt in print. Huh? Yes, the screen is usually further away, which at such small distances, has a huge impact… 16pt only looks big because we’re used to small fonts and because the threshold (browser window) makes it look big.”
