  462.     <h3><a href="http://blog.cloudfour.com/responsive-guide-to-type-sizing/">Source originale du contenu</a></h3>

  463.     <p>When starting new projects, a CSS builder&#8217;s initial concerns tend to involve typography. Setting a typographic foundation with the right mixture of ingredients can form something solid enough to support many other building blocks of design. It&#8217;s an approach that makes structural sense.</p>

  464. 

  465. <p><em>Proportions</em> are a key ingredient to the mixture. Calibrating your type proportions for a balance of aesthetics and order can be an obsessive undertaking. It’s a challenge getting proportions right for a given screen size, let alone <em>any possible</em> screen size. This process can be less challenging &#8212; even for responsive designs &#8212; if you use a <em>modular scale</em> and let math do the work for you.</p>

  466. 

  467. <h3>Using a modular scale for typographic proportions</h3>

  468. 

  469. <p>In his <a href="http://alistapart.com/article/more-meaningful-typography">detailed article</a> on the subject, Tim Brown demonstrates using a modular scale for composing type. He explains how compositions can benefit from using numbers that relate to each other in a meaningful way:</p>

  470. 

  471. <blockquote><p>Modular scales[&#8230;] help us achieve a visual harmony not found in compositions that use arbitrary, conventional, or easily divisible numbers.</p></blockquote>

  472. 

  473. <p>This <em>modulation-based</em> approach is particularly useful for determining type sizes. Selecting sizes using a ratio (instead of guessing) yields a more harmonious range of proportions.</p>

  474. 

  475. <p>With tools like <a href="http://www.modularscale.com">this indispensable calculator</a>, you can see how different <em>bases</em> and <em>ratios</em> affect your scale. These are the variables in your scale&#8217;s equation. The value produced by multiplying or dividing these variables is a <em>step</em> on your scale. Repeating the operation on each resulting value forms a new step:</p>

  580. <p>Experimenting with base and ratio parameters is a quick way to gauge how much proportional contrast is right for your project. Compare the following scales:</p>

  581. 

  582. <ul>

  583. <li><a href="http://www.modularscale.com/?1&amp;em&amp;1.618&amp;web&amp;text">The golden section</a> (1.618)</li>

  584. <li><a href="http://www.modularscale.com/?1&amp;em&amp;1.2&amp;web&amp;text">The minor third</a> (1.2)</li>

  585. </ul>

  586. 

  587. <p>Due to their ratios, these scales have wildly differing degrees of change between each step. The &#8220;golden section&#8221; ratio yields much more change than the &#8220;minor third&#8221;. Consider how much change you&#8217;re likely to need, and how it correlates with varying screen sizes and content hierarchy.</p>

  595. 

  596. <p>The balance of typographic contrast in scale is dependent on screen size. A scale that works well on a large screen may have too much contrast for a small screen (and feel obtrusive). Likewise, a scale that is harmonious on a small screen may be too subtle when viewed on a large screen.</p>

  597. 

  598. <p>One solution to this conundrum is to create a scale intended for small screens that is also capable of adapting for large ones. The first thing to consider when creating that scale is which ratio to use.</p>

They all feel reasonable for small screens, and are distinct enough for levels of typographic hierarchy. At step #5, the resulting size can still be used while retaining a reasonable number of characters per line. With these attributes, this ratio feels like a good selection for small screen proportions.<sup style="line-height:0"><a href="#responsive-guide-to-type-sizing-fn1">1</a></sup></p>

  661. <h3>Applying your scale from the ground up</h3>

  662. 

  663. <p>After figuring out a scale that works well for your project, you&#8217;ll probably want to put it into practice. CSS offers a few options:</p>

  664. 

  665. <ol>

  666. <li>Copying and pasting numbers for a bunch of property values</li>

  667. <li>Using preprocessors like <a href="http://sass-lang.com">Sass</a> with built-in math capabilities</li>

  668. <li>Using the native CSS <code>calc()</code> function</li>

  669. </ol>

  670. 

  671. <p>The following examples employ option #3, using <a href="https://github.com/postcss">PostCSS</a> in order to provide browser support for <code>calc()</code> and <code>var()</code>. If you prefer a different CSS processor, you can apply the same operations with that tool&#8217;s own arithmetic and variable syntax.<sup style="line-height:0"><a href="#responsive-guide-to-type-sizing-fn2">2</a></sup></p>

  672. 

  673. <p>For more complex modular scale applications, you should check out these plugins available for <a href="https://github.com/postcss">PostCSS</a> and <a href="http://sass-lang.com">Sass</a>:</p>

  674. 

  675. <ul>

  676. <li><a href="https://github.com/kristoferjoseph/postcss-modular-scale">postcss-modular-scale</a></li>

  677. <li><a href="https://github.com/modularscalemodularscale-sass">modularscale-sass</a></li>

  678. </ul>

  679. 

  680. <p>They provide a cleaner syntax than <code>calc()</code> for getting scale values, and also support multiple values for <em>base</em> and <em>ratio</em>.</p>

  681. 

  682. <h4>Configuring the variables</h4>

  683. 

  684. <p>The first step is to define values for the <em>ratio</em> and <em>base</em> variables that much of the scale logic depends on:</p>

  685. 

  686. <div class="wp_syntax"><table><tr><td class="code"><pre class="css" style="font-family:monospace;"><span style="color: #3333ff;">:root </span><span style="color: #00AA00;">&#123;</span>

  687.   --ratio<span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #cc66cc;">1.2</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>

  688.   --base<span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #cc66cc;">1</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>

  761. <p>Bumping the global font size like this is a practical adjustment that requires little effort. While this practice is <a href="https://bugsnag.com/blog/responsive-typography-with-rems">common</a>, it&#8217;s worth noting that even small tweaks like this can leverage steps from your modular scale. Rather than incrementing the size by an arbitrary few pixels or a percentage, you can use your scale to determine the new value.</p>

  762. 

  763. <p>In line with amplifying your body copy, you might also want to increase the amount of change between each heading size. You can do this by overriding the larger headings with sizes from higher up your scale:</p>

  788. 

  789. <p>Limiting your scale&#8217;s influence to just specific elements would be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru9e2rTHeuk">highly illogical</a>. You want flexible, abstracted styles to build complex interfaces with. Utility classes can provide that flexibility:</p>

  818. <h3>TL;DR</h3>

  819. 

  820. <ul>

  821. <li>Use a modular scale to define your typographic proportions.</li>

  822. <li>Create a scale that is flexible enough to work on many screen sizes.</li>

  823. <li>Use higher steps from your scale when more proportional contrast is needed.</li>

  824. <li>Don&#8217;t limit the use of your scale to specific elements.</li>

  825. </ul>

  844.     Using one base and one ratio isn&#8217;t the only way to arrive at a scale that works within small screen limitations. You can also create a <em>multi-stranded</em> scale by using multiple base or ratio values instead of just one. Here is an <a href="http://www.modularscale.com/?1,4&#038;em&#038;1.5&#038;web&#038;text">example</a> using a secondary base value to shorten the distance between each step. See <a href="http://modularscale.com">modularscale.com</a> for a better explanation.
