Responsive Fluid Typography with CSS

Introduction

In this lab, we will learn how to implement fluid typography using CSS. Fluid typography ensures that the text scales according to the viewport width, making it more responsive and accessible for different screen sizes. By using the clamp() function and a formula to calculate responsive values for font-size, we can create a more dynamic and user-friendly design.

Fluid Typography

index.html and style.css have already been provided in the VM.

To create text that adjusts in size based on the width of the viewport, you can use CSS. One way to do this is by using the clamp() function to set the minimum and maximum font sizes. Another way is to use a formula to calculate a responsive value for the font size. Here is an example HTML element with a class of fluid-type:

<p class="fluid-type">Hello World!</p>

Here is the corresponding CSS code that sets the font size to adjust between 1rem and 3rem based on the viewport width:

.fluid-type {
  font-size: clamp(1rem, 8vw - 2rem, 3rem);
}
