Typography & Layout
Obsidian Standard 880px Note Measure
Say goodbye to stretched paragraphs and expansive side gaps. Notes are calibrated to the golden 880px measure:
- Optimal Reading Line Length: Paragraphs maintain 65–85 characters per line, proven by typographical research to maximize reading speed and minimize cognitive fatigue.
- Responsive Margins: Dynamically adapts across laptops, ultra-wide monitors, and split screens with balanced padding (
clamp(24px, 4vw, 48px)). - Obsidian Desktop Parity: Text flow and line wraps in your Chrome new tab mirror your desktop Obsidian vault down to the pixel.
- Seamless Mode Continuity: The 880px centered column is uniformly preserved across Live Preview, Split Mode, and Source Mode.
Welcome Note
"Reading comfort is directly tied to line length. When text spans across ultra-wide screens without constraint, eye strain multiplies."
