I recently found a fun visualization tool, SizeCalc.com, that shows you the perceived size of an object based on your viewing distance. It started me thinking… we have rules of thumb for how large text on a website should be for easy reading, but are they valid? Are they based on the science of human vision and anatomy? What about different size laptop, desktop and phone screens? Seriously, what is the best font size?
