Question

Is there a minimum font size that we should stick to on mobile sites?  

Answer 1

Get your grandma to read a few versions, and you'll get your value

Well, since that would be completely subjective that wouldn't hold much value.

Or anyone over the age of 40

@laufer sure, but you get the idea. On default font family, I go with 16px minimum, up to 18px (paragraph text).  

Answer 2

14. We go with 16.

Thank you. That is what I was wondering.  

Answer 3

Don't keep it too small. You will get error is search console "Content too small to read"

Answer 4

Font-size: 16px or more for mobile. Otherwise GSC might hit u with a text to small to read error

Answer 5

Official minimum is 12px, according to Google. However, that is too small as well. Test and see what realistically feels good. Take care of line height and letter spacing as well. Plus avoid wall-of-text. :)

That's what I've been doing but I started to get smaller and smaller and didn't want to go TOO small

Answer 6

As long as it passes W3Cs accessibility then its okay. Run it through and test it

Answer 7

At least 16px, but some font families are weird. The glyphs are smaller than the 16px you expect, so we bump those up as needed.
