Here's a 5 second guide for typography on the web:

Set max-with and increase line-height. Everything else is just fine as it is.

Yes, and use the correct units when setting max-width and line-height. This is good:

  line-height: 1.4;
  max-width: 30em;

This is not:

  line-height: 120%;
  max-width: 700px;
