About Typography.my
A free browser-based tool for testing typefaces, modular scales, and typographic settings against real content. Adjust fonts, sizes, weights, tracking, and line heights in the sidebar; the preview updates live. When you're happy with the result, copy the CSS.
How to Use
- Scale
- Set a base size and ratio. Every heading level is derived mathematically: base × ration. Smaller ratios (1.2) produce subtle hierarchies; larger ones (1.618) create dramatic contrast.
- Typography
- Font weight, letter spacing, and measure (line width in
ch) for body and headings independently. A measure of 50–75 characters is comfortable for sustained reading. - Fonts
- Choose from system font stacks (no network request), individual system fonts, or the full Google Fonts library. Use the target toggle (Both / Body / Heading) to assign fonts independently.
- Export
- Click Copy CSS to get a complete
:rootblock with custom properties, ready to paste into any project. - Shareable URL
- Settings are encoded in the URL query string automatically. Copy the address bar to share a configuration.
- + URL tab
- Load any locally-hosted page to test typography on your own content. Same-origin only; cross-origin pages are blocked by the browser.
