Use Responsive Web Typography with FlowType.js

Posted · Category: CC License, Tools

Ideally, the most legible typography contains between 45 and 75 characters per line. This is difficult to accomplish for all screen widths with only CSS media-queries. FlowType.JS eases this difficulty by changing the font-size, and subsequently the line-height based on a specific element’s width. This allows for a perfect character count per line at any screen width.

Additional options allow you to configure FlowType.JS to fit your needs. These options include element size thresholds, font-size thresholds and font-size/line-height ratios. You have full control over the base font-size and line-height ratios, so that you can set your typography perfectly. FlowType.JS is extremely easy to use.
