Web Typography
Wilson Miner beschreibt in Setting Type on the Web to a Baseline Grid wie, und mit welchen Einschränkungen, sich Typo im Web an einem Grundlinien Raster ausrichten lässt.
The main principle of the baseline grid is that the bottom of every line of text (the baseline) falls on a vertical grid set in even increments all the way down the page. (…) On the web of course, it’s another story. It’s hard enough to align things vertically with CSS because it’s tough to predict where every element will fall, and it only gets worse when we’re dealing with type, which is hard enough to size consistently on its own. But with a little math and a slightly obsessive attention to detail, we can make it work.
