Gutenberg Typography Kit

Gutenberg is a flexible and simple-to-use web typography starter kit for web designers and developers. It’s a small step towards a better typography on the web. Beautiful typographic styles can be made by setting base type size, line height (leading), and measure (max-width). Gutenberg is a work-in-progress project by Matej Latin that brings meaning and craftsmanship to web typography. The reader should be able to read the message of a text easily and comfortably. This depends to a not inconsiderable extent on the size of the type, the length of the lines and the leading. Gutenberg sets the baseline grid to establish a proper vertical rhythm and makes sure all elements fit into it. It sets up the macro typography so you can focus on the micro–typographic details. All calculations in Gutenberg depend on base type size and line-height. Multiplication of these two results in leading which is essential for setting a correct vertical rhythm and a baseline grid.
