Frequently Asked Questions
What is a modular typography scale?
A modular scale generates a consistent set of font sizes by repeatedly multiplying a base size by a fixed ratio, creating a harmonious size relationship across headings, body text, and captions throughout a design.
Which scale ratio should I choose?
Smaller ratios like 1.125 or 1.2 create subtle, closely-spaced size differences suited to dense interfaces, while larger ratios like 1.5 or the golden ratio create more dramatic size jumps suited to bold editorial or marketing designs.
What does a negative number of steps mean?
A negative step value calculates a font size smaller than the base size, useful for generating caption or fine-print sizes that follow the same proportional scale as your larger heading sizes.
