Rhythm Begins Before the First Word
A page teaches the reader how to move through it before they read a sentence. Spacing, line length, contrast, and section breaks form a silent rhythm that either invites attention or pushes it away.
Strong reading layouts rarely need decorative noise. They need a confident column, clear headings, generous line height, and enough supporting detail to orient the reader without competing with the prose.
Respect the Scroll
A good scroll experience is predictable. The article moves in a steady cadence, while helpful affordances such as a table of contents stay available without taking over the page.
