    ❌ Critical: 12px body text is too small. Increase to at least 14px.

    ✅ Optimal line spacing: 1.50 ratio ensures comfortable reading.

    ✅ Strong hierarchy: Headlines are 3.8x larger than body text.

    ✅ Excellent performance: System fonts eliminate font loading delays (better LCP).

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

    ✅ Protected text on images: Using text-shadow for readability.
