I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING. “Did he just say 16 pixels? For body copy? Obnoxiously big! 12 pixels is ideal for most websites.”

I'd like to persuade you otherwise.

I'm not entirely sure I 100% agree with everything in this article persuading designers to use 16px body copy but I'm more inclined to go with it than I am disagree. Unfortunately, the actual article uses 19px for the main body so you're likely to think it looks huge and horsey (it is). Regardless, I'm ready for larger fonts to start being more commonplace.. don't make me get out my special reading spectacles!
