To set the root font size in Webflow, you can use custom code. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your Webflow project, and navigate to the project settings.

  2. Click on the "Custom Code" tab.

  3. In the "Head Code" section, add the following code:

    ```html

    ```

    This code sets the root font size to 10 pixels (px).

  4. Save your changes and publish the site for the changes to take effect.

Now, 1 rem (root em) will be equal to 10 pixels (px) throughout your Webflow project. This means that you can use rem units in your CSS confidently, knowing that they will be based on the 10px root font size.

Setting the root font size can be helpful for maintaining consistent typography and ensuring better accessibility for your website. It provides a scalable approach to font sizing, making it easier to adjust the overall size of your site's text.

By following these steps and setting the root font size to 10px, you will have better control over the size of your typography in the Webflow design editor.
