“Reimagining Fluid Typography” by @mia

> Never do pixel math with `em` and `rem` units. That’s where we went wrong, by assuming that `16px == 1em` is a reliable fact.

It reminds me a lot of what I was pretty vocal about a few years ago, including “People don't change the default 16px font size in their browser (You wish!)” and “Users DO change font size”.

But I don't understand how this code…

Abseits jeder politischen Bewertung ist uns für die nächsten Jahre typografisch einiges erspart geblieben. Das 'Scharfe S' in Felßner macht keine gute Figur in den aktuellen Überschriften. Wenn man es wirklich verwenden muss sieht man, wie viele Schriftarten diese Letter nur als Stiefkind aufgenommen haben – wenn überhaupt.

Having noticed someone inquiring about classical Chinese bronze inscription characters on Facebook, I therefore recorded a video to illustrate them.

Okay so I really like the Commit Mono #font at

commitmono.com

But that website is a usability *nightmare*: it has keyboard navigation using via JS to make it feel like you're using Lynx, which is all well and good...

But if you click too many times, it will block your clicks for a couple of seconds and flash a message "try using the keyboard!" because they really wanna show off.

Then I went to download the font and I'm met with "Safari download not working, try Chrome."

C'mon. Wow.
