Using a fun metaphor, Richard will take you on a journey from static to responsive web design through to fluid typography. You will learn what fluid typography means and he'll show why its combination of type and spacing is so important to readers and users. You will see that fluid typography can be implemented easily in CSS, provided you have the right mindset. Most importantly you will learn how a fluid approach encourages designers and developers to share a common language, reduce design debt and simplify workflows. Finally he'll show how fluid typography can be used and documented in a design system using real world examples.
