 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Changed
+
+- An item's title and text keep to about 70 characters a line, however wide the window, so the eye finds the start of the next line (#360).
+
 ### Added
 
 - Fonts of your choosing in Settings, beside the theme, kept by each browser as the theme is: one for the interface and one for reading an item's title and text, which is the interface's until chosen, with a little more room between the lines in a serif. Inter, your system's, the reading fonts Atkinson Hyperlegible, Lexend, Literata, Source Serif and OpenDyslexic, your device's serif, or monospace. The default keeps each theme's face as it was (#359).
