Social platforms (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok) prioritize dense interfaces, where users quickly scan a lot of information. This scale works because:
✔ Tighter line-height reduces vertical wasted space
More posts, comments, and UI elements fit on screen, improving engagement and usability.
✔ Short ratios (1.17–1.33) are proven readable for UI text
These values closely match those used on the world’s largest social platforms.
✔ Creates a fast-scannable feed experience
Headers sit close to content, making hierarchy clear without adding bulk.
✔ Matches user expectations for how social UI should feel
If your site is a social platform, people expect compact, efficient typography—not airy, blog-style spacing.
