Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between em and rem?
Em is relative to the parent element's font size, while rem is relative to the root (html) element's font size. Rem is more predictable for consistent sizing.
How many points is one pixel?
At standard screen resolution (96 DPI), 1px = 0.75pt, or equivalently 1pt = 1.333px.
What base size should I use?
The default browser font size is 16px, which is the standard base for rem/em calculations in most projects.
