Something that has been on my mind for a while: I want browsers to have better typography defaults now, when run without any CSS. System fonts. More line height. Better responsive support. Maybe with a new <!doctype> or something?https://twitter.com/timlockridge/status/1040299818759933957 …

You mean like better bundled OS fonts? I think we’re pretty close with Segoe UI and San Francisco! A good specialized stylesheet could go a long way I’d wager.

Yeah, I think I’m suggesting they might feel good enough?

I wish those would be browser defaults instead of Times. I think typefaces, heading and body text styles should be OS-defined—a good barebones HTML doc as a baseline would be a neat idea. A style guide like this is how most good site designs are started anyway.

Yes, yes! And I’m mostly concerned about font size, line measure, line height, and stuff like that on big screens and small phones. We’ve learned those things! Why can’t they just come for free.
