Maybe important to mention that SCSS can get confused if it encounters a CSS min or max function because SASS has conflicting functions. For example min(200px, 80%) will cause a SASS units error. The trick is to capitalize: Min and Max so they are ignored by SASS (CSS is case insensitive)

I used vw unit pretty much for scaling font-sizing especially on a bigger. And on 12:15, I think it just not a good example of showing the sizing changes (except you use the computed tab -> font-size on the developer tools to inspect it). Because I believe it's actually changing but just not as much as we could see. And usually, you need to do a proportional ratio before using the vw unit for font-size. So my approach: 100 * (value) / (viewport resolution) Let's say you have a Figma design with 1440px screen and there's a 18px value for a font-size on a subtitle. Then it just would like this: 100 * 18 / 1440 = 1.25. There you go with font-size: 1.25vw; and remember to use a @media query with min-width: 1440px. This will fixed this exact issue on 15:54. Just try to zoom out your browser or try resizing it on whatever resolution, it would stay THE SAME as 18px would work on 1440px screen, but it's actually on larger screen. I've rarely use vw on smaller screen or mobile devices. But this still could work whatever you want. Just remember changes your design "preferred" viewport value (maybe for 768px or something should work good). And just for a quick note: Sometimes this maybe not an always go-to solution because there's some monitor like ultra wide exist here. So yeah, you still need to double check everything.

One way to deal about the calc() solution is to put more weight in the static part of the calculation: instead of doing (1wv + 0.25rem) you should try (0.25vw + 1rem). Try to find a good balance and you will find the solution for your element to fit every screen width. Of course using clamp() is the best solution. I'm only using it on the WordPress DIVI theme builder because it doesn't allow the min() max() clamp() to be use on inline CSS snippets (which sucks btw!!)

It makes all your web 100% responsive without using any media query! I used to redefine de html font size inside the media queries to scale the content according to the page width, but with clamp() I just don't need to do that anymore!

Great video, cool stuff. Definitely a step in the right direction. Better than just relying on media queries. Regarding its application for font size, I’d argue though that a person’s field of view doesn’t change according to a view port or container size. That said, there are still specific use cases for being able to dial the font size on a granular level, but I believe it’s not nearly as many as people think, or nearly as significant as people perceive it to be.

I have been looking for a solution for an adaptive font for a long time and not one video could give me the desired result, namely, to save the number of lines in a text block, for example, I have a title that has 3 lines, if you use a clamp, the text will jump by 4-5 lines in places (and this is not acceptable for me) I found a solution in the min function where I indicated the maximum value for example 40px and the size 26 px in vw based on the resolution for the tablet (here the truth is, I applied another formula for calculating the resolution of the tablet for the exact conference of the px in vw, for my design system and my framework it works perfectly, maybe after a few tests I will share my formula). This way I got what I wanted, and yes I need to use a media query in order to align the font size for smartphones, however this helped me achieve the desired result and reduce the code by 1 media query.

That's a case where I could see it. Good for component classes (such as a card or something).
