I've found that sometimes too large of a line height can also be a problem, so it's a balancing act I'll be experimenting with in the coming days. That said, my current content column is nearly 100 characters wide, which is also less than ideal, so it looks like I can benefit from some increased font size <strong>and</strong> line height.

I suggest you experiment with things like this: padding-bottom: 0.5em; and perhaps a line height that gives a little breathing room in your current layout. "Negative space" is a concept that is under-used in many designs that could greatly benefit from the freedom it provides.
