Baseline can be used in many different ways. Use the reset.css and base.css file as a starting point, include the type.css for typographic control or include all files to have a complete foundation to start your web project. Most frameworks and examples of baseline grids simply put the type on a regular line-height, but one problem with this approach is that the text rarely lines up correctly between columns and headlines — H1 through H6. Baseline try to align to the font metric to correctly line up headlines, paragraphs, form labels and any other major elements on the page baseline, creating a harmonious layout.
