So nutzt du: Type Scale Generator
- Set the base size (usually 16 px, your body text) and a ratio — bigger ratios give more contrast between headings.
- Choose how many steps go below (small print, captions) and above (h4 to h1, display).
- Turn on Fluid to use a smaller base and ratio on phones that grow to the desktop scale; drag the screen-width slider to preview.
- Copy the CSS variables, the Tailwind
fontSizeconfig or an SCSS map.
What a modular scale is
A type scale multiplies the base size by the same ratio for every step: with 16 px and 1.25, the steps are 16, 20, 25, 31.25, 39 px… Sizes that share one ratio look related, which is why typographers borrowed ratios from music — the Major Third (1.25), Perfect Fourth (1.333) and Perfect Fifth (1.5) — and the Golden Ratio (1.618).
- Small ratios (1.125–1.2) suit dense interfaces, dashboards and long reading.
- Large ratios (1.333–1.618) suit marketing pages with big, confident headlines.
Fluid type with clamp()
A heading that is perfect on desktop is often too big on a phone. Fluid steps interpolate between a mobile scale and a desktop scale: font-size: clamp(1.5rem, 1.28rem + 0.98vw, 2.44rem) stays at the minimum on small screens, grows linearly with the viewport, and stops at the maximum. Values are in rem, so they still respect the visitor’s browser font-size setting. For single values, see the Clamp Calculator; convert units with PX to REM.
