Minimum font sizes and padding rules updated

We've updated our guidelines to include a minimum font size, and some new rules around when and how to apply padding across our breakpoints.

  • Minimum font size is now 13px
  • Extra lower padding is required for iOS devices, which have a width less or equal to 568 pixels at 1x dppx, for example the iPhone SE. If this is the case, the lower padding is set to 32px, whilst all other padding remains at 2%.
