Hi there,

Agreed that the text could be a little larger. Due to the amount of content I wanted to try and keep things compact, but as stated in another comment above, it could be easier to parse.

The text does pass accessibly standards though, #A4A4A4 on #1D1D1D gets a AA rating on small text and AA rating on large text.

But duly noted your comments and I shall rethink the layout for V2.

The fact that Karla (your body font) gets blurry at 13px makes it worst that it should be. https://snag.gy/Z5Aibp.jpg (left: karla, right: tahoma).

That being said, a good rule of thumb is to consider "small text" to mean 16px and "large text" to mean 18px bold / 24px regular. (Since the guidelines are in pt and not px)
