Golden Ratio Typography (GRT) is the science of using the golden ratio to determine precise typographic proportions like:
- font sizes
- line heights
- associated spacing
While the main purpose of GRT is to serve as a foundation for aesthetically pleasing designs, there’s another huge benefit:
GRT enables the creation of dynamic, variable-driven layouts that can retain proportionality in any environment.
Uhhh, sure, but what the hell does that mean?
It means you can change the font size of a layout built with GRT, and dozens—even hundreds—of other values in your CSS will adjust to maintain perfect proportionality with this new font size.
You oughta know: This is precisely how the Focus WordPress Theme works! It’s the ultimate implementation of GRT for WordPress.
This enables rapid customization and prototyping with a level of precision that simply has not been possible before.
Heck, GRT even makes responsive adjustments more organized and easier to handle.
