Just curious to what your preferred line-height is?

Some sites seem to be a little tight with text…others seem to be a little spaced out..

Crap you guys are all over the board.

Hmmm….guess I should have elaborated a bit.

If my font size is 14px I generally go with 20 to 24px…..

But a lot of you use em….Good to know

Depends on the font size, but for 12px size I’ll set it at 16 or 18px. For larger headings sometimes I’ll set it solid like 32px on 32px, it all depends on the design, font, size, etc…
