When people find out about viewport units, one of the first things they often do with them is create fluid type, but there are some problems that can cause. In this video, I look at why we shouldn’t use viewport units for our font sizes, how we can use clamp(), and how using a tool like Utopia makes figuring it all out a lot easier.
