A consistent typographic scale — where each heading size follows a mathematical ratio from the base size — is the foundation of readable, harmonious design. The Typography Scale Generator takes a base size and scale ratio, computes all the font sizes, and shows them with real text previews. Export as CSS custom properties or a Tailwind config for immediate use.

Designers building design systems, developers implementing typographic scales for web projects, anyone setting up a new site's typography who wants a mathematically harmonious size progression.

What is a modular scale?

A sequence of font sizes where each size is the previous multiplied by a fixed ratio — creating mathematical harmony across the type scale.

What is the Major Third ratio?

1.25 — multiplying each size by 1.25 gives: 16, 20, 25, 31.25... A gentle, readable scale.

What is the Golden Ratio?

1.618 — a more dramatic scale with bigger jumps between sizes. Used for strong visual hierarchy.

Should I use fluid typography?

Fluid type scales (using clamp()) scale between screen sizes. This generator provides fixed sizes — clamp values can be derived from the output.

How many steps do I need?

Typically 5-8 steps cover xs through 4xl in a complete design system.
