Use Serif for Italic Text

Reduce Heading Spacing

The spacing between a heading and a paragraph should be less than the regular paragraph spacing. If regular paragraph spacing is used instead, the heading would seem too far away from the paragraph.

Use Thin Space

Thin Space might be the most underrated HTML entity. It can be used for a name like J. K. Simmons. Without spacing, the J and K would seem too close together; with a regular space, they seem too far apart. Insert a thin space and it is just perfect.

The HTML code is  . You can go even further with Hair Space  

Don’t Use Helvetica, Inter, & Roboto
