Follow typography rules for line length #167

Just one random link on typography: https://material.io/design/typography/understanding-typography.html#readability

My main concern with water.css is the characters per line. Different studies suggest optimal line length is between 40 and 90 characters. While it's curious that science has found such a big range for an optimum, I do want to point out that on the homepage of water.css I get at least one line with >110 characters. I'm not really a frontend and design guy, so if the font size and line length were chosen deliberately, I withdraw my complaints. I just want to say that I find lines too long and font too small in water.css

Thanks for this project anyway, have a great day!

I'm not a designer either but I think you raise a valid point. I'd also want to see if there were any accessibility concerns with our font readability.

@kognise could chime in on the typography design decisions.

Thanks for logging the issue!
