We’re testing out a streamlined font/line-height system here on Meta. If you notice any issues that may be caused by font sizes or text-related spacing issues, report them here.
Please only report potential problems, do not respond with new feature requests.

Numbers in my mickey mouse ears are a bit high.

- The small action posts use less space than they used to:
- The font size of names and titles above posts increased:
- The composer’s toolbar is higher.

These are probably the most noticeable (intentional) changes, and I wanted to see if anyone noticed (you did!) and had any thoughts…
Both names and titles were .929em, which is a font-size I eliminated. So I moved names and titles to 1em and post meta to .8706em (seemed like a logical way to treat the hierarchy of information).
The reasoning for the elimination is that I’m using a formula to create our font scale: `multiplier ^ (step / interval) `. So from 1em, 1 size up is `2^(1/5)`, and one size down is `2^(-1/5)`. This makes it sane to move up and down the font scale (while nesting ems) without creating a potential infinite number of font size variations.
A couple options if this change is undesirable:
1. We could move names/meta both up to 1em, which is ~.7em larger than they used to be (the .87em size is too small for names, IMO).
2. I could modify the scale I’m using to provide more options (something like `2^(X/8)`). I was trying to keep the interval small, but adding more sizes is still much better than what we started with. We’d then have a `.917em` font-size for names/dates, and 21 available font-size variables instead of the 13 I’m using currently.
If you want to an overview of the available sizes in each scale, you can see them here

I like the mobile change but remember that post times are click / tap targets so should not be made smaller imo.

Did suggested topics get a little bit bigger? _Something_ about it looks different.

This was a part of @awesomerobot’s changes around line height.

I think the new “time of post” sizing works fine on desktop, but we also need a bump up on mobile where it is way too small now.
