- In this video we talk through how to get started with setting up typography in web design. We go over what sizes, and how many styles of body copy you might need, along with how to scale up H1-H6 headers, and how to find these scales.

Finally found the perfect tutorial to explain the best way to measure typography in Web Design......I have subscribed
Awesome, thank you. Glad you got something from it!
Very helpful, this typography measurements are confusing and the Type-scale site is great Thank you from WA Australia
Dude, I'm hooked to all of your videos
Amazing, thanks for watching!!
Great video - learning a lot here!
I like this video.
Thank you
Great video! Can you tell us more about how to adapt the scale to different screen sizes? Do you have a separate scale for each webflow breakpoint? Thanks so much!
Hey man, sorry for the late reply. I’ll put it on the list to film, it’s a good idea and I get asked it all the time. As a very general rule, I usually drop to around 80% of the desktop size, but there are a lot of caveats and a lot of easier ways to do it.
@@wearestudiotonic thanks so much - that would be a great video!
What is the font used on this video thumbnail image? (Those text in yellow highlight). They are beautiful.
Hey, we're glad you like it. We love it too. It's called Domaine Display.
Out of curiosity how do your developers handle scaling down to mobile? Is it percentage based and makes use of clamps with fixed min and max? Or do you have incremental drops at various breakpoints? Or something else or maybe leave as is.
Great video. I’ve seen designers say that if you’re using an 8pt sizing scale, your typography sizes should also be divisible by 8 (or 4 for smaller text). What do you think about that?
I think that if you were redesigning Apple’s design system, then probably yes. If you’re designing a marketing site then I don’t see the need to restrict yourself like that. No one will ever check, and if they did, they wouldn’t care. And also, since the introduction of fluid typography, these PX values change depending on screen size so, not sure how we would account for that! I think as long as it’s legible, and feels right for the brand, you’re all good 👍
@@wearestudiotonic Makes sense! So do you typically use px for typography, or do you set it to rem based on the base size?
@Steve-qp5rb we use PX in Figma, and then REM in Webflow 👍
I like it nice and big
Pixels for font sizes?
What @creativeSolutions said....great tutorial just wat I needed, I am subscribed!
Legend, thanks so much!
font size divided by 1.333
what about 1.618 (golden ratio)?
Yep, that’s certainly a scale you can use!
