How to calculate the optimal font size, characters per line and the font family?

I have an application where I want an optimal reader experience. I found an excellent tool for calculating the best typography : http://www.pearsonified.com/typography/.

In my application I'm building a StackLayout with Label's and I want to set the optimal font size, line height and characters per line. Now, to do that I recon I need to know the width of the screen (obviously), but how do I calculate which font size to set? Then another question: If I set the font size of a Label, what unit of size is that?

Has anybody done this before in Xam.Forms? Do you have any good tips for me?
