Words I Wrote

You know what goes well with Fluid Type? Fluid Grids!

But not just any grid. This is a SPECIAL grid because it allows for 'breakout' elements. It's based on a technique from Ryan Mulligan that's based a technique from Josh Comeau (as one does on the web... 🧐)

Gone are the negative margins (thanks CSS Grid), gone are the ratcheting container widths with media queries. This is fluid all the way up and down—one definition for desktop and mobile viewports!
