Description

The body has a confusing font-size of 1.03rem.

Given that most browsers have a base font-size of 16px, we end up with a font-size of 16.43px. This seems like an odd choice, especially on normal-density screens.

What is the rational behind this value?
If this has a reason, could you add a comment?
