I usually use the present tense. Future tense works too in the way you've used it, but I would use it sparingly. This might be a "know your audience" answer, and I have more experience in technical guides than articles, but I also tend to avoid pronouns. I would say "Use a very clean font" and "it will help get more readers" but I understand that with some articles you might want the reader to feel you're talking specifically to them.
