Fine tune the typography of any medium
Chris Pearson asserts that there is a relationship between the font height, line height and line width whereby using the golden ratio can calculate preferable variables for improved appearance and reading. So far it was impossible to integrate his calculations in a productive workflow - therefore, I developed a free Sketch Plugin.

The axioms
Font size and line height are proportionally related.
For any font size, the line height must increase as the line width increases.
When nature needs a proportion to relate things and to provide order on any scale, it tends to use the golden ratio.
