Well, Typetura seems fun
I came across this update from Scott Kellum’s and Sal Hernandez’s project Typetura via my Medium feed this morning, and what a delight?!
(Also, wow, I really have been out of the game for a minute.)
Typetura.js is a fluid design solution, for any property, based on any input. It’s not for just typography across screen sizes. Transition between anything — width, height, scroll position, cursor position, and more.https://t.co/EoouX0PkGC

This is quite exciting! Typetura wants to deal with some of the main problems that come up when utilizing fluid type in your CSS.

Typetura was created to make fluid typography mainstream. To do this there were two problems to solve. First, develop an implementation that is feature rich and easy to implement with CSS. Second, create a design tool that designers can use to illustrate how they want fluid typography to look.
I love a tool that tries to remove friction and make technologies easier to use.
To ensure the implementation was easy to use and understand, Typetura needed a simple, declarative syntax in vanilla CSS. This means no complicated math or Sass tricks.
Design software is constructed around fixed art boards, but there needs to be a way for designers to communicate how designs transition between sizes… Typetura is a tool that enables designers to work with a fluid canvas.
