Trying to update CSS so that the headline adapts and becomes smaller when viewing mobile. Might be missing something or there's some other CSS that controls it but not sure where.
I've tried looking up various code, but testing it locally, still not getting desired result.
HTML
<div class="col-12 col-md-auto cta-headline">
<h2><span class="cta-headline">SIGN UP!</span></h2>
</div>
CSS
.cta-headline {
color: $white;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: "Gilroy", "Helvetica", Helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 25px;
letter-spacing: 3px;
margin-bottom: -15px;
margin-top: -20px;
#media only screen and (min-width: 450px) and (max-width: 959px) {
.cta-headline { font-size: 10px;
}
}
}
I'd like the text to just scale appropriately down when viewing mobile compared to desktop.
Are you using Sass? Because CSS you shouldn't be nesting media queries inside the class. Just move the media query to its own line and it should work.
The min & max width is also redundant, it's much better to just remove the min and keep the max. If the width goes below 450px, create another media query where the max width is 450px
.cta-headline {
color: $white;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: "Gilroy", "Helvetica", Helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 25px;
letter-spacing: 3px;
margin-bottom: -15px;
margin-top: -20px;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {
.cta-headline { font-size: 10px; }
}

I'm using Bootstrap in my HTML page and I have this row with text:
.pick_your_color {
font-size: 72px;
font-family: piepie, sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
color: rgb(75, 45, 30);
line-height: 1.2;
}
<div class="row text-center" style="padding-top: 280px">
<h1 class="pick_your_color">Pick your color</h1>
</div>
Everything is working and loos ok, but when I resize the browser or using the mobile the text is using 2 lines instead of one line, There is a way to resize text to fit the row height?
There are two two ways by which you can make text responsive:
The text size can be set with a vw unit, which means the viewport width.
.pick_your_color {
font-size: 10vw;
font-family: piepie, sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
color: rgb(75, 45, 30);
line-height: 1.2;
}
<div class="row text-center" style="padding-top: 280px">
<h1 class="pick_your_color">Pick your color</h1>
</div>
or, You could also use media queries to change the font size of an element on specific screen sizes
.pick_your_color {
font-family: piepie, sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
color: rgb(75, 45, 30);
line-height: 1.2;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 601px) {
.pick_your_color {
font-size: 80px;
}
}
/* If the screen size is 600px wide or less, set the font-size of <div> to 30px */
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.pick_your_color {
font-size: 30px;
}
}
<div class="row text-center" style="padding-top: 280px">
<h1 class="pick_your_color">Pick your color</h1>
</div>
When font-size is set to font-size: 72px;, then it means that any viewport, display will have font size set to 72px.
So it is possible to use vw.
As mdn says:
vw is 1% of the viewport's width.
Then you can write a class to define responsive text:
.foo-text {
width: 50%;
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 20px;
font-size: 16px;
font-size: 3vw;
}
You can do that based on the viewport width please look at this link: Font scaling based on width of container
Change font-size from px to vh then adjust value accordingly.
I've based this code on Enviro's suggestion.
.pick_your_color {
font-size: 6vh;
font-family: piepie, sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
color: rgb(75, 45, 30);
line-height: 1.2;
}
<div class="row text-center" style="padding-top: 280px">
<h1 class="pick_your_color">Pick your color</h1>
</div>
Run code snippet and click full page, then try to resize your windows to see the expected result.
You can use the following code.
p {
margin: 0;
font-size: calc(4vw + 4vh + 2vmin);
}
<p>Dummy Text.</p>
Trying to figure out how to use underscores. Before, to make typography responsive font for different screens, I would usually write different media queries as follows:
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
html{
font-size: 18px;
}
h1 {
font-size: 2rem;
}
h2 {
font-size: 1rem;
}
etc..
}
#media screen and (min-width: 700px) {
html{
font-size: 14px;
}
h1 {
font-size: 0.5rem;
}
h2 {
font-size: 1.3rem;
}
etc..
}
Using underscores, how do I change the parent font-size so the child elements can have an rem size?
I tried adding the font-size as it seems to be the parent element (?)
/*--------------------------------------------------------------
# Typography
--------------------------------------------------------------*/
body,
button,
input,
select,
optgroup,
textarea {
color: #404040;
font-family: Merriweather, sans-serif;
font-size:20px;
font-size: 1rem;
line-height: 1.5;
color:red;
}
What would be the best approach for this?
You almost got it. If you use rems the only thing you need to control all your fonts depending on the viewport is to change the font size of the root element lets say html:
html {
font-size: 12px;
}
p {
font-size: 1.1rem;
}
.footer {
font-size: .9rem;
}
#media (max-width: 767px) {
/* now the basis for all the font sizes set in
rems is 10px. For example, font-size for p is 10*1.1 = 11px.
Previously it was 1.1*12 = 13.2px. */
html {
font-size: 10px;
}
}
Also you could use so called fluid typography and combine it with the previous approach to get responsiveness (fonts will scale upon each resize attempt, not only after passing certain limits):
html {
font-size: calc(14px + (26 - 14) * ((100vw - 300px) / (1600 - 300)));
}
It scales font size for html in 14px - 26px range depending on the viewport sizes 300px - 1600px.
PS. besides, here
font-size:20px;
font-size: 1rem;
you first set 20px and then rewrite it with 1rem, so it didn't have any effect. You may want to remove font-size: 1rem;. It will set font size equal to 20px for parent element (body), but also it will do so for other elements given there (inputs, buttons etc.) Approach involving html element is a common one and it is cleaner.
I made a site here. It works great on all screens except mobile where the slogan is too large. So i added a mobile css definition for the slogan "Always coding and brewing up something good" but on my phone it does nothing? I am using bootstrap but only with the grid and responsive elements. The css I applied is the below in question is:
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.grabber{
font-size: 12px;
}
}
You defined in your stylesheet.css a following order of styles:
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.grabber{
font-size: 12px;
}
}
.grabber{
color: #3498db;
font-size: 2em;
font-family: 'black_roseregular', Arial, sans-serif;
}
and due to processing css-rules consequentially latest font size style applied to .grabber will be font-size: 2em;. All you need is to swap these statements like this:
.grabber{
color: #3498db;
font-size: 2em;
font-family: 'black_roseregular', Arial, sans-serif;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.grabber{
font-size: 12px;
}
}
I do know how to use media-screen functionality, but wanna ask you guys something else, something which I really needed for my project. Let me paste some code snippet so that I can elaborate you exactly what I'm looking for.
In below I'm pasting a css ID which I made for my site design:
#Disp_name {
color: #424854;
font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;
font-size: 5.5em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 105px;
/*margin: 200px 0 25px;*/
margin: 0px 0 25px;
text-rendering: optimizelegibility;
transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; }
Now I want when anyone open up my project from a small screen device, like
**When open up from 400> and <450px the font-size will be 4em and if >300 and <400px then 3em and if less than <300px then 2em.
What should I do? Please help
As DevIshone said, media queries are exactly what you're looking for. In that case it would look something like this
#media (max-width: 450px) and (min-width: 400px) {
font-size: 4em;
}
#media (max-width: 400px) and (min-width: 300px) {
font-size: 3em;
}
#media (max-width: 300px) {
font-size: 2em;
}
use media queries in your css
for example:
#media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.classname{
font-size: 6em;
}
}
I have seen this question on SO:
What are the most common font-sizes for H1-H6 tags
with this being the recommended font sizes fo H tags:
h1 { font-size: 2em; }
h2 { font-size: 1.5em; }
h3 { font-size: 1.17em; }
h5 { font-size: .83em; }
h6 { font-size: .75em; }
Is there a 'best practice' for these for mobile phones? -say iphone screen size?
The font sizes in your question are an example of what ratio each header should be in comparison to each other, rather than what size they should be themselves (in pixels).
So in response to your question "Is there a 'best practice' for these for mobile phones? - say iphone screen size?", yes there probably is - but you might find what someone says is "best practice" does not work for your layout.
However, to help get you on the right track, this article about building responsive layouts provides a good example of how to calculate the base font-size in pixels in relation to device screen sizes.
The suggested font-sizes for screen resolutions suggested from that article are as follows:
#media (min-width: 858px) {
html {
font-size: 12px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 780px) {
html {
font-size: 11px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 702px) {
html {
font-size: 10px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 624px) {
html {
font-size: 9px;
}
}
#media (max-width: 623px) {
html {
font-size: 8px;
}
}
Based on my comment to the accepted answer, there are a lot potential pitfalls that you may encounter by declaring font-sizes smaller than 12px. By declaring styles that lead to computed font-sizes of less than 12px, like so:
html {
font-size: 8px;
}
p {
font-size: 1.4rem;
}
// Computed p size: 11px.
You'll run into issues with browsers, like Chrome with a Chinese language pack that automatically renders any font sizes computed under 12px as 12px. So, the following is true:
h6 {
font-size: 12px;
}
p {
font-size: 8px;
}
// Both render at 12px in Chrome with a Chinese language pack.
// How unpleasant of a surprise.
I would also argue that for accessibility reasons, you generally shouldn't use sizes under 12px. You might be able to make a case for captions and the like, but again--prepare to be surprised under some browser setups, and prepared to make your grandma squint when she's trying to read your content.
I would instead, opt for something like this:
h1 {
font-size: 2.5rem;
}
h2 {
font-size: 2.25rem;
}
h3 {
font-size: 2rem;
}
h4 {
font-size: 1.75rem;
}
h5 {
font-size: 1.5rem;
}
h6 {
font-size: 1.25rem;
}
p {
font-size: 1rem;
}
#media (max-width: 480px) {
html {
font-size: 12px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 480px) {
html {
font-size: 13px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 768px) {
html {
font-size: 14px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 992px) {
html {
font-size: 15px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
html {
font-size: 16px;
}
}
You'll find that tons of sites that have to focus on accessibility use rather large font sizes, even for p elements.
As a side note, setting margin-bottom equal to the font-size usually also tends to be attractive, i.e.:
h1 {
font-size: 2.5rem;
margin-bottom: 2.5rem;
}
Good luck.
The whole thing to em is, that the size is relative to the base. So I would say you could keep the font sizes by altering the base.
Example: If you base is 16px, and p is .75em (which is 12px) you would have to raise the base to about 20px. In this case p would then equal about 15px which is the minimum I personally require for mobile phones.
