    My site is at http://dandenong-ranges-photography.com.au/ and I love the theme but find the font type and size too large for my liking.  I'd like to do what this site has done at http://www.jerseyicecreamco.com/ but am not sure what the font type and size is. I think it's Libre Baskerville from what I could see in the coding but don't believe that's a standard font. I also don't like the large sized font on the theme - and have made changes in the css to downsize the fonts but they still seem very large.

    Would appreciate some suggestions and guidance on this please.

    It is using the Libre Baskerville which can be found in Google fonts. As for the re-sizing, I would just continue to size down until you have a size that you are comfortable with.

    Yes, thank you.  I didn't know what a rem was - hadn't come across that before.  Read up on it and believe it basically means that if the px is 16 then the rem is 1.6 or thereabouts. I ended up changing all the rem references and now the fonts have downsized. I couldn't work out why changing the px sizes wasn't working.
