Getting text to scale well across screen sizes takes a bit of work. Like many developers, I started with @media queries to manually adjust font sizes and spacing at different breakpoints. While it did the job, there were noticeable jumps and inconsistencies.
Fluid typography offers a smoother approach. Text can scale with the viewport using units like vw (viewport width) and functions like calc(). But without constraints, scaling can swing too far, making text too large on wide screens or too small on compact ones.
The modern clamp() function solves this by letting you define a minimum, a flexible scaling range, and a maximum value all in one line of CSS.
After constantly tweaking font sizes across projects, I thought, why not simplify the process? So I created Smart Clamp, a VS Code extension to automate clamp() function generation for perfectly scalable text. Smart Clamp takes the guesswork out of fluid typography, ensuring seamless readability across all screen sizes.
