How to use

How to Use the Typography Scale

  1. 1 Set a base font size (typically 16px) and choose a scale ratio.
  2. 2 View the calculated sizes from h1 down to small text, each step multiplied by your ratio.
  3. 3 Preview with sample text and copy CSS custom properties for your stylesheet.

A typographic scale creates visual harmony by using mathematically related font sizes. Popular ratios include the Golden Ratio (1.618), Perfect Fourth (1.333), and Major Third (1.250).

Using a consistent type scale throughout your project creates professional, cohesive typography. The generated CSS custom properties make it easy to implement and maintain.
