 As noted during the early development of Twenty Nineteen, there are a
 couple improvements to the font size and typographic scale:

 - The theme sets a base font size of `22px`. Ideally, this should be set
 to `100%`. ( Discussion:
 https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/issues/62 )
 - The `em`-based typographic scale built on top of that `22px` size does
 not always resolve to exact pixels. ( Discussion:
 https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/issues/164 )

 It's worth noting that adjusting this scale at this point must:

 1. Preserve the current appearance. Font sizes must be close enough to
 what's live currently that they don't appear visually different. Adjusting
 our math so that type sizes are rounded up/down to the nearest pixel when
 rendered is fine, but we don't want to implement a whole new, different
 type scale.
 2. Use pixel or `rem`-based sizes in the editor styles in order to
 override the default pixel-based font sizes used in Gutenberg.
