Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many Themes control Classic TinyMCE for a real WYSIWYG display with fonts and max-width for pages and posts.
Entering Gutenberg, one oft the first negative experiences compared to Classic TinyMCE is this obvious lack of WYSIWYG display with its fixed font and width.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add in standard WordPress Themes like Twenty Sixteen (+600.000 users) and Twenty Seventeen (+1Mio users) this full WYSIWYG support (fonts and max-width) also for Gutenberg.
1.) Demonstrate users the WYSIWYG power on their regular used themes.
2.) Learn to make this Theme customization as easy as possible (and perhaps make something better like using a variable for image-width and not a hardcoded value)
3.) Write an easy instruction for theme developers to do the same

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are a few plugins to get WYSIWYG fonts and/or editor max-width in Gutenberg, but only one (which allows controlling manually the max-width) is working at the moment.

Recent updates such as #9008 have been added to help make this process easier. A comment at #9008 (comment) mentions documentation and asks what is missing.

There is also a request for feedback about the strategy around styling on a more general level at #9534 and the goal for that issue is critical thinking around how styling works for multiple areas, including the editor styles and editor width which you are asking about specifically.

Since these things are new, themes may take some time to add support such as what you are asking. The right place to file a request for bundled themes such as Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Seventeen is at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/component/Bundled%20Theme. Would you be able to add your requests for Twenty Seventeen and Twenty Sixteen there?
