The current plan is to allow the authors to choose between a smaller sans-serif that is optimized for skimmability, and a larger serif that is optimized for getting users into a flow of reading. Not confident about that yet though. I am hesitant about having too much variance in font-sizes on the page, and so don’t really want to give authors the option to choose their own font-size from a variety of options, but having a conceptual distinction between “wiki-posts” that are optimized for skimmability and “essay-posts” that are optimized for reading things in a flow state seems good to me.
Also not sure about the UI for this yet, input is welcome. I want to keep the post-editor UI as simple as possible.

FYI it’s been a year and I still think this is pretty important
