HTML

              
                <!-- Edited 7/11/2019 - Just a tidy up -->

<div class=content>

  <h1><a target=_blank title="[new window]"  href="https://websemantics.uk/articles/responsive-fonts/">Responsive fonts - auto-scaling the root font-size</a></h1>

  <p>The root font-size scales up and down proportionately, between defined values, dependent upon the viewport width.</p>

  <h2>Easy-peasy, stretch &amp; squeezy.</h2>
  
  <p class="new floatright">Simplify your calculations:<br><a target=_blank title="[new window]" href="https://websemantics.uk/tools/responsive-font-calculator/">Fluid-responsive font-size calculator</a></p>

  <p>In this example the font size is set at 1rem (16px) up to 48em (768px) viewport width. It then starts increasing to meet the upper defined value 2rem (32px) at 120em (1920px) wide.</p>
  
  <p id=report1></p>

  <p>All controlled from a single CSS statement.</p>
  
  <p>Remember to define all font-sizes in em, rem or percent.</p>

<pre><code class=language-css>
<span class=comment>/* 1rem @ 48em (768px) increasing to 2rem @ 120em (1920px) */</span>
@media (min-width: 48em) {
  :root {
    font-size: calc(1rem + ((1vw - .48rem) * 1.389));
    <span class=comment>/* .48rem = viewportWidthMinimum /100 */</span>
    <span class=comment>/* 1.389rem = 100 * fontSizeDifference / viewportWidthDifference */</span>
  }
}
</code></pre>
  
  <p class=margin2>Where:</p>

<pre>

<b>fontSizeCalc = 1rem + (1vw - 48em / 100) * 100 * fontSizeDifference / viewportWidthDifference</b>

fontSizeDifference = maxFontSize - minFontSize
                   = 2em - 1em  &equiv;  32px - 16px
                   = 1em  &equiv;  16px

viewportWidthDifference = viewportMax - viewportMin
                        = 120em - 48em  &equiv;  1920px - 768px
                        = 72em  &equiv;  1152px

Using pixels:
fontSizeCalc = 1rem + (1vw - 768px / 100) * 100 * 16px / 1152px
             = 1rem + (1vw - 7.68px) * 1.389

Using em or rem:
fontSizeCalc = 1rem + (1vw - 48rem / 100) * 100 * 1em / 72em
             = 1rem + (1vw - .48rem) * 1.389
</pre>

  <p class=margin2>Font scaling doesn't stop at the top setting but continues to increment at the same rate. This behaviour may be stopped, or adjusted further, by adding another media query:</p>
  
<pre><code class=language-css>
<span class=comment>/* Stop font scaling above 1920px */</span>
@media (min-width: 120em) {
  :root {
    font-size: 2rem;
  }
}
</code></pre>
