    ⚠️ Small text: 14px may be hard to read on mobile. Consider 16px+.

    ✅ Optimal line spacing: 1.40 ratio ensures comfortable reading.

    ✅ Strong hierarchy: Headlines are 2.4x larger than body text.

    ✅ Smart font loading: Using font-display: swap prevents invisible text during load.

    ✅ Optimal line length: ~50 characters per line is comfortable to read.

    ⚠️ Cramped layout: 48 elements lack adequate spacing.
