Sometimes you can make text a lot more readable by increasing the line-height. This is because when you come to the end of a line of text it is easier to find the start of the next line. When there is not much vertical space between one line of text and the next, it is much harder to find the next line. The extra space also helps distinguish individual characters of each line of text. This vertical spacing is something that graphic designers and typographers refer to as leading.
