Using Mulish on a website
Sizes
Mulish is at its best in paragraphs at 16 to 18px. It can set headings too, but a more distinctive partner usually makes a stronger headline.
Spacing
For body text, use a line height of about 1.5 to 1.65 and a column of 60 to 75 characters; tighten to about 1.1 to 1.2 for headlines.
Loading
This page loads 400 and 700. Load only the weights you actually use: every extra weight is another file before text can render in it. Self-hosting with next/font, or font-display: swap with the Google Fonts CSS, keeps text visible while it loads.
Mulish is free on Google Fonts, where you can see every weight and style it comes in.
