don't let the highlighted lines break.

weight and width are fixed to editorial content, so change text, or size only

please.

Edited text.

I've also sketched out a responsive solution to this page that can become an example. We also need to add a bit of text to stress the use of Roboto "Classic, which contains the old family in a new, singular file.

Let me know if questions.

thanks

I've done an experimental smooth-scaling size system, let me know what you think. It starts at 320px (smallest iPhone width) with the specified sizes 26/16/9/8. Then as the window grows, the fonts grow proportionally until they hit the top sizes 48/30/18/13.

I have not done anything with the font weights yet. I assume you want the "responsive" values (i.e. heavier at smaller sizes)?

Ironically this does not require variables.

It’s not using size yet:) On Mar 5, 2019, at 11:25 PM, Chris Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: Ironically this does not require variables. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread.

Also, if you look at the original material, the top specimen is not supposed to vary, responding to portal scaling with only the legacy styles of Roboto,
...the bottom half is supposed to show that the new var, has the same scalability, plus interpolation capabilities to other styles, and these can be used responsively, as was specified: see, “Improved and final I phone shrink” in the original material.
