Rectangle vs circle isn't the point of this thread, as I understand it. It’s that the calculated width of text determines the width of a float when the float has no specified width. Here is a fiddle demonstrating what I understood people were talking about regarding floats, although it is a different thing than the other jsfiddle in this thread is showing: https://jsfiddle.net/1wj3efkm/ https://jsfiddle.net/1wj3efkm/ Also, everything on the web is a rectangle, but that hasn't stopped people from hacking around this (https://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/slantastic/demo.html https://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/slantastic/demo.html), and there is even a draft web standard to give shape to text (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-exclusions-1/ https://drafts.csswg.org/css-exclusions-1/), but only Microsoft has implemented it (https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-exclusions https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-exclusions).
