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

✅ Good performance: Using 1 font families keeps load times fast.

✅ Consistent design: Single font family with weight variations is a modern best practice.

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

✅ Protected text on images: Using gradient for readability.

✅ Optimal line length: ~49 characters per line is comfortable to read.
