There are also customizable fonts like https://input.fontbureau.com/preview/ I find an extra bit of built in spacing helpful.

I guess something like: foo bar { ...styles } foo bar baz { ...more styles } foo bar baz > bim { ...even more } foo bar baz > bim:not(bop) { ...stuff } instead of a more SCSS like syntax:
