Wow I think this is a fantastic idea that feels pretty unexplored, still. I hope this might become so commonplace that one day we'll have css shortcuts for them, not unlike "ease-in" for transition timing and the likes. Combining the screen size and the user font size seems like a pretty great idea, especially!
- andrepd 6y agoKnuth tried this with METAFONT.
- ripe 6y agoYou are right that METAFONT allows a font designer to vary the font in a continuous way using parameters while retaining its essence. But this is addressing a different problem. It allows a document designer to adapt the font to the page. I suppose this approach could be used together with the METAFONT approach so that the font itself varies as needed, too.... but my head hurts thinking about it.
