# /type-measure — Line Measure Check

Calculate line measure for every text container:
1. Container width / (font-size * average character width)
2. Flag lines exceeding 75 characters (too wide, hard to read)
3. Flag lines under 45 characters (too narrow, too many line breaks)
4. Suggest max-width values to achieve optimal measure

The optimal measure depends on font and context:
- Long-form body text: 55-65 characters
- UI labels and short text: 30-50 characters
- Headings: no measure constraint needed
